What is the situation with these now?
I remember, back in 2012 I had a few problems running Linux on netbooks with c-50 and e-350 APUs. The big one was a hardware video decoding which simply didn't work. I wonder if something has changed in the past 4 years?

I don't know about the closed source drivers, but Mesa works like a charm on AMD graphics cards. Nowadays it's safe to buy any AMD graphics card and expect it to work out of the box.

mesa works good, even played civ 5 on 4k.
EXCEPT it can't wake up from hibernating. 1 on 3 times it just fucks up

Pretty much everything works, including hardware offload of video streams. (Hardware compatibility with the codecs are a different thing.) Just emerge mpv.
I'd say pre-GCN from HD2000 and on works the best, followed by R300 and older GCN cards. Newer GCN cards using the AMDGPU driver might be a little magical still, and pre-R300 cards may be too old to be loved.
I slapped together a FM2+ system and everything just worked out of the box.

Latest Ubuntu runs like shit on an AMD C-60. Though it does have video acceleration as I was able to play even 1080p WMV files with no problem.

Do you use Mesa driver or Catalyst?

Not a problem for me as I'm going to run Arch with Openbox
