I upgraded my trusty old GTX1060 to a RX7600XT. Everything works as it should except for blender. It doesn't find the GPU as a rendering device.

Since the driver manager states "No drivers needed" and when running glxinfo | grep "OpenGL version" in the terminal, it outputs OpenGL version string: 4.6 (Compatibility Profile) Mesa 24.2.8-1ubuntu1~24.04.1 I figured I had all important drivers installed.

I don't know why blender won't find the GPU. Do you have any advice for a newbie?

sys specs

Linux Mint 22 Cinnamon Linux Kernel 6.8.0-53-generic CPU Ryzen 7 5800x GPU RX7600XT MoBo MSI B550A-Pro RAM 16 GB @3600mHz

Solution: Didn't have ROCm installed. For anyone with the same issue, here is a link to the guide I used. I don't know if these were necessary for the solution, but here are the amd drivers, just in case ;)

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.
