AMDGPU
AMDGPU is AMD's fully open source unified graphics driver for Linux.[3] AMDGPU officially supports cards built upon GCN 1.2 or higher, though as of 2021 support for GCN 1.0/1.1 is incomplete,[4] it can be enabled by a kernel parameter[5][6] and some Linux distributions enabled it by default.[7]
