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.

Thanks!

    Just for future reference: if you’re on any major Linux distribution, use the drivers they provide in their repositories. For a consumer AMD card, you don’t have to install anything. Nvidia have their proprietary drivers, but still avoid the ones from the website

      Yup…but out of the box I encountered a system failing to boot and unable to recognize my secondary display :)

        I’m not saying this doesn’t happen. I’m saying that if the driver is the actual problem, the solution is different from what you’d expect on a different OS
