2. Remove Vsync limitation 3:47
3. How to Uninstall 6:44

This guide video is only useful to you if you meet the following criteria:
1. AMD graphics card user
2. Using the open source default driver (Mesa)
3. Have a HD7000 series or newer card (RadeonSI)
4. Running Ubuntu 15.10

If you're running the Catalyst drivers, you already have access to OpenGL 4! Same goes to Nvidia users on the proprietary driver.

Steps (summarized):
1. Open a terminal and enter the following:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:paulo-miguel-dias/mesa

2. Update Ubuntu through the Software Updater

3. Restart Ubuntu and you're done!

Here's the .drirc snippet of text you need to copy:

Sorry I have to give you a link to pastebin. Youtube won't allow this type of coded text in video descriptions apparently!

A big thank you to Paulo Miguel Dias for making this easy and accessible for all of us on Ubuntu!

I may have made mistakes, and if I have done so, please forgive me and correct me in the comments. Hopefully this tutorial video can assist beginners in accessing OpenGL 4 on their AMD mesa drivers.
