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!

    You might try to add the repository for it without using the script. I followed this page, but you can skip the rocm parts of it (except for adding the key). I managed to install it on Debian 12 this way.

      As most people suggested, I guess I don’t need the proprietary drivers at all. I managed to get it working with kisa’s ppa and an updated AMD firmware file for the kernel (and a quick initramfs rebuild). However I’m experiencing a weird glitch on multi-monitor setup now…
