#241430 — How to install official AMDGPU linux driver on Debian 11?

Hi,

Please, could someone suggest a tutorial (for a basic user) on how to 
install the driver for the graphics card for a laptop Lenovo IdeaPad 
S145 with AMD Ryzen™ 5 3500U and AMD Radeon RX Vega 8 running Debian 11 
(Bullseye).

I found a more complete tutorial just for Stretch and Buster:

https://wiki.debian.org/AMDGPUDriverOnStretchAndBuster2

What are the possible risks of problems using these AMD drivers?

Does using these AMD drivers make much difference in performance?

Thank you,

Markos

I'd love to know that too. I have Radeon 6900XT card and I have no idea
how to install proprietary OpenCL (which is part of proprietary driver)
on it. Other distros like Manjaro have this working (despite no official
AMD support like in Debian), but on Debian I haven't figured it out yet.

Hi Piotr,

No reply so far.

So, it seems that no one is interested in this question. :-(

Or none managed to do this installation, yet.

Markos

Could it be that readers here are content with the FOSS driver?

More likely readers here don't use/need OpenCL. FOSS driver doesn't
support that at all.

Before your initial post, there was already some discussion about a very  
similar case in the following thread:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2021/10/msg00700.html

Summary: Just following AMDs instructions may lead to compile errors
(see https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2021/10/msg00738.html)
whereas it worked for my GPU and downloaded driver:
(see https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2021/10/msg00738.html)

I am interested in the questions of yours, but unfortunately cannot provide  
much of an assistance beyond what I already wrote in the other thread.

Yes the other thread which I opened is just a few threads down. OpenCL
driver for modern Radeon 6800 XT which I have has 0% success rate
installing in Debian 11. I exhausted all options I found. You have
non-Radeon AMD card as I remember, probably driver is made by other team
at AMD. No idea. I invite anyone to have a try. Debian is disadvantaged
in this regard comparing to Ubuntu, which is supported by AMD. O_o

Hi Linux-Fan,

Thank you for your comments.

Reading the messages I realized that this is a too big challenge for my 
level of knowledge.

And in the tutorial at 
https://linuxconfig.org/install-opencl-for-the-amdgpu-open-source-drivers-on-debian-and-ubuntu

I found an answer to my question about the risks of problems using these 
AMD drivers:

"WARNING: This may interfere with your existing drivers, resulting in 
poor performance and instability. Proceed with caution."

I even posted the same question on the AMD forum, but I haven't had an 
answer so far.

https://community.amd.com/t5/drivers-software/how-to-install-official-amdgpu-linux-driver-on-debian-11/td-p/493903

Thank you for your attention.

Best Regards,
Markos
