Help...First time installing a Radeon on Linux (7800 XT)
Hi guys! Brand new PC...And I'm trying to install its brand new 7800XT. I've chosen KDE Neon, as it was my previous OS, and I've grown to like it. I'd like to stick with it if possible...I'm writing this preamble, because when I try to run amdgpu-install from the AMD downloads page, all I get is:
Unsupported OS: /etc/os-release ID 'neon'
So...what can I do? Neon is mostly Ubuntu 22.04 to most effects. Kernel is 6.2.0-36-generic.
For AMD you really should just stick to the drivers that will already be included out of the box, and generally you'll get a better experience using newer kernels, especially for a relatively recent architecture like RDNA3.
Oof. I had the same issue when I (back when it was new) used a 6800XT on a Mint install with an old kernel. Maybe it's worth testing with a newer kernel or on a distro that pushes more frequent kernel/Mesa updates
