Introduction to AMDGPU PRO
The AMDGPU PRO proprietary driver
contains userland drivers and libraries, providing hardware
acceleration encoding, EGL, OpenGL, GLES, and Vulkan support
FOR AMDGPU cards. If you do
not have an AMDGPU card, you can skip this page.
AMDGPU PRO Dependencies
Required
Xorg
Libraries, GPU Kernel Options and
Firmware, Mesa-25.0.2, and Wget-1.25.0 (for getting the .deb files in
the installation instructions)
Recommended
Vulkan-Loader-1.4.309 and Wayland-1.23.1

Note
If you are doing multilib, follow both the x86_64 and i686
instructions.
x86_64 Installation of AMDGPU PRO
First create a list of all the files to download that will be
downloaded using Wget-1.25.0:
cat > x86_64-amdgpu-pro-wget-list << "EOF"

Download and unpack the drivers by following the instructions
below:
mkdir x86_64-amdgpu-pro &&
cd x86_64-amdgpu-pro &&
grep -v '^#' ../x86_64-amdgpu-pro-wget-list | wget -i- -c \
