AMD Linux GPU Drivers Guidelines 

AMD Linux GPU drivers are open source and integrated into popular Linux distributions (some of them are listed at Compatible 64-bit Operating Systems). For many use cases, AMD recommends using AMD GPU Linux drivers available from Linux distributions. Some of these use cases are described below:   

• Using AMD APU products with any popular and up-to-date Linux distribution. 
• Using AMD discrete GPU products that are well supported by a popular Linux distribution. 
• Using a notebook or desktop PC pre-loaded with Linux and/or certified by a Linux distribution vendor. 
• Using a Linux distribution that is not compatible with Radeon^™ Software for Linux^® such as:  
  • Fedora 
  • Pop!_OS  
  • Linux Mint  
  • Arch Linux 

When using a very recent AMD discrete GPU that is not yet well supported by recent versions of Linux distributions, AMD recommends the most recent release of Radeon^™ Software for Linux^®. Many users find it convenient to migrate to AMD GPU Linux drivers available from Linux distributions once they've been updated to include support for the latest AMD GPU products.

• Ubuntu 26.04 
• RHEL 10.2 
• RHEL 9.8 

Known Issues

• Blender 5.2 may crash when the Viewport Shading mode is set to "Rendered" while using AMD GPU (HIP/Cycles) rendering with HIPRT enabled, on AMD Radeon^™ PRO W7700 and other supported Radeon^™ GPUs. The application exits at the first render kernel launch. Blender 5.1.2 is not affected. Workaround: use Blender 5.1.2 for GPU-accelerated rendering until an updated ROCm release is installed.

• Installation of the Mesa user-mode driver using amdgpu-install may fail following a fresh installation of RHEL 9 or RHEL 10. As a workaround, rerun the driver installation using the same amdgpu-install command.
