It changed around RDNA I think? They pushed a new driver stack that works on all FOSS software and then offer their proprietary driver as an optional firmware blob.
Since they open source kernel space driver uses the same interface for both you don’t get a degraded experience on either.
This new driver amdgpu (and amdpro) replaces radeon.
Ah, that’s good to know. I’ve dabbled around with different distributions on VMs but now I feel like it’s to convenient to just set up a new vm when I want to do something
