Fedora and AMD GPUs? (lemmy.ml)

I picked up an AMD 9060 XT the other week and tested it out by dual-booting Bazzite. Helldivers 2, TRYP FPV Drone Racing, Mud Runner all ran as expected, it was wicked.

"Nice," I thought, "This works great, time to boot back into Fedora."

And... not so nice? Apparently Fedora doesn't have hardware acceleration when using AMD GPUs and a bunch of the apps I normally use are whinging about it. It was fine with the older NVIDIA card I had been using but I wasn't getting the performance benefits of gamescope.

Dabbled in the dark arts of trying to swap mesa drivers to the freeworld one and ended up nuking my login screen so probably going to have to roll back. I thought Bazzite was based on Silver Blue so kinda confused, I guess they've done some AMD-friendly tweaks?

Edit: Thanks for all the help everyone. I was on Fedora 42 and after installing updates today it started working again. I really wish I new what specifically was causing the issue.

Iirc, the free version of resolve lacks hw accel via OpenCL on Linux for specific formats like MP4. What are your encode settings? If you pay for resolve, I would try contacting the vendor. I'm not sure if the app supports ROCm / HIP directly (I gather it does but haven't used this path directly), but you can try installing the ROCm meta package via dnf on Fedora Workstation (or rpm-ostree package overlay on Bazzite) to see if that opens up more options.

I'll check in with OBS later to confirm my settings.

I'm not sure how it is for atomic apps but if video players like VLC and MPV are complaining, you may need to grab the gstreamer plugins from the store? (I need to check if this is consistent across fedora workstation and immutable setups like on my fedora silverblue install)
