AMD Linux GPU Drivers Guidelines

AMD Linux GPU drivers are open source and integrated into a variety of popular Linux distributions.  For many use cases, AMD recommends using AMD GPU Linux drivers available from Linux distributions. Some of these use cases are described below:

  • Using a Linux distribution that is not compatible with Radeon™ Software for Linux® (see Compatible 64-bit Operating Systems).  For example:
    • Ubuntu 24.10 (when released)
    • Ubuntu 24.04 with the latest hardware enablement (HWE) kernel
    • Fedora 40
    • Pop!_OS
    • Linux Mint 22
    • Arch Linux
  • 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

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 our latest products.
