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.
