Can't get my CPU or GPU in the system preference I have finally manage to buy myself a new laptop a Dell Inspiron i7 Second Gen. I have installed my favorite Linux Distribution "LinuxMint", and have all my hardware installed properly. I have Blender 2.79b and all is good. But when I go to my User Preference -> System, I cannot select any compute device!



If I check my OS info, I get the CPU info and my Intel Graphics car info, but not my GPU;



I have check at the command line that my GPU is well installed, when I run the command "lshw -c video" I can see my Radeon R5 listed:



Now I understand that not all GPU are supported, but I would thought that I can at least select my CPU! If anyone could help with this issue. I have looked at the CUDA driver but cuda supports only NVIDIA if I am not mistaken. Any other help will be welcome?

My Apologies if my question is in the wrong thread.
Thank you kindly
From the manual

When set to None or when the only option is None: the CPU will be used as the computing device for the Cycles Renderer.
