what amd driver do I use?
I recently built a new pc and since I switched from Windows to Lunux (Kubuntu) I got an amd gpu (6700 XT). Because people told me it is less of a hassle than Nvidia. It works fine out of the box, but the choice of drivers confuse me. For gaming is the default amdgpu good enough? Is amdgpu-pro the same as the official Radeon drivers from amd? Are they better for gaming? Is Mesa yet another driver or something in addition to a driver? Why are there no settings/gui anywhere (using the default amdgpu)?

Oh. That clears up a lot. Thanks!
You listed AMDGPU-Pro as a kernel driver. Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm quite sure it is a proprietary userspace OpenGL/Vulkan driver that uses the open source AMDGPU kernel driver.

AMF
Wait, you need
amdgpu-proto use hardware transcoding?Permanently Deleted
Oh, got it. But VA-API works fine as far as I can tell. Is there any reason I should favor AMF instead?
