Introduction to AMDGPU PRO
The AMDGPU PRO proprietary driver
contains userland drivers and libraries, providing hardware
acceleration encoding, EGL, OpenGL, GLES, and Vulkan support.
AMDGPU PRO Dependencies
Required
Xorg
Libraries, GPU Kernel Options and
Firmware, and Wget-1.24.5 (for getting the .deb files in the
installation instructions)
Recommended
libglvnd-1.7.0, Vulkan-Loader-1.3.300, and Wayland-1.23.1

Note
If you are doing multilib, follow both the x86_64 and i686
instructions.

cp -Rv usr/* /usr
ldconfig
i686 Installation of AMDGPU PRO
Note
When using a 32-bit CPU, you will lose support for AMF and AMDENC
support, which is a big reason to use the proprietary driver in
the first place. Consider upgrading your CPU to the x86_64
architecture.
