You will have to wait until either the AMD driver supports 4.2 kernels (given AMD's development speed in the past this may take months) or the people that are responsible for that package have patched the driver themselves (this usually goes pretty fast).

I ran Kubuntu for a few days and liked it's simplicity.

Do you mean you'll switch back to Arch?

I can appreciate that.

Like TobiSGD said a patch won't take long. Waiting on AMD......don't hold your breath-
Which ever occurs first:-

I'm running dual boot Windows 10/Arch Linux again. This time i'm just using non-catalyst drivers. Everything seems to be working fine.
