From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

For gaming, it works out of the box. You don’t need to install additional drivers. The other drivers are only necessary when dealing with things like machine learning and AI. They don’t offer better gaming performance and will only introduce problems similar to Nvidia.
Not only will the performance not be any better on amdgpu-pro, the performance will most likely be worse. Even AMD recommends that people who don't need to do machine learning or AI work, use the built-in driver.
