AMD has released version 25.30.1 of their Radeon Software suite specifically designed for Linux users, offering tangible improvements to the graphics experience. This latest update includes solid support for high-end graphics cards, such as the AMD Radeon Instinct MI300X series, and preliminary compatibility with Ubuntu 24.04 HWE. The new drivers are particularly useful for users pushing performance or using specific hardware like discrete GPUs, as they can help ensure smoother operation on up-to-date distributions.
AMD Radeon Software for Linux 25.30.1 released
AMD just released version 25.30.1 of their Radeon Software suite designed specifically for Linux users.
This latest update brings tangible improvements, starting with solid support for two significant high-end graphics cards: the AMD Radeon Instinct MI300X series (note the typo in your original text). For others who might have been waiting, this also means preliminary compatibility news for Ubuntu 24.04 HWE.
The Linux experience is important, and these drivers are key to it. The open-source AMD GPU drivers available through Radeon Software play a vital role across many popular distros already. They're integrated right in, so often you can just use the ones that come pre-installed with your distribution.
But sometimes, especially for those pushing performance or using specific hardware like discrete GPUs, getting the very latest from AMD directly makes sense. You might find this helps things run smoother on up-to-date distributions, including relying on your AMD APU system without fuss. It also covers scenarios where systems are Linux-only or have been certified by vendors.
That said, not every popular distro is covered Fedora 43, Pop!_OS, Linux Mint 22, and Arch Linux currently aren't part of this specific driver rollout. So if you're using one of these, know that AMD doesn't currently offer Radeon Software for your distribution.
