Hello all,
I’ve been unable to get my system to switch to the AMDGPU PRO -drivers, even though I have installed all the necessary packages. I’ve read the Arch wiki quite a bit, but it just tells me to use the amdgpu-pro-installer package from AUR. But that package doesn’t seem to exist anymore.
Here’s what I get with inxi -v7azy:

Here’s what I’ve installed manually:

AMDGPU Pro Vulkan driver (32-bit)
4 aur/lib32-amdgpu-pro-oglp 23.10_1620044-1 (+119 1.33) (Installed)
AMDGPU Pro OpenGL driver (32-bit)
3 aur/amf-amdgpu-pro 23.10_1620044-1 (+119 1.33) (Installed)
AMDGPU Pro Advanced Multimedia Framework
2 aur/vulkan-amdgpu-pro 23.10_1620044-1 (+119 1.33) (Installed)
AMDGPU Pro Vulkan driver
1 aur/amdgpu-pro-oglp 23.10_1620044-1 (+119 1.33) (Installed)
AMDGPU Pro OpenGL driver
I’m probably just a dunce, but I haven’t figured out how to get my system using them even with reading a bunch of threads here and searching around about AMD drivers.
The main reason for needing the drivers is that I need hardware video encoding. Better video encoding is the main reason I got this GPU in the first place.
Thank you, and apologies if excessively dumb line of enquiry!
