Pre-installed AMDGPU

This might seem like a dumb question, but because i couldn’t find anything in the internet, does Endeavour OS install AMDGPU driver with the installation or do I need to install it by myself?

it is installed by default if you have such hardware

No to both questions.

amdgpu is included in the Linux kernel.

The amdgpu driver is part of the kernel. It doesn’t need to be installed.

However, xf86-video-amdgpu will be installed.

Essentially, if you have an amd gpu, everything should work fine without any input from you.

the X.org amdgpu video driver = xf86-video-amdgpu

amdgpu inside kernel = https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMDgpu_(Linux_kernel_module)

:star_struck:

I also installed the Vulkan Radeon & libva-mesa-driver for Steam. Was that really necessary?
