Highlights
- Introducing preliminary support for Ubuntu 24.04.3 using the installer version of Ubuntu 24.04.2 HWE.
- Consistent with AMD’s commitment to Open-Source software, we will be making the following changes to the composition of the Radeon Software for Linux releases, starting with 25.20:
- The Mesa Vulkan driver will be officially supported, along with Mesa OpenGL and Multimedia support. The AMD proprietary OpenGL and Vulkan drivers will no longer be included in the release.
- AMF will no longer be included in the release. AMF users are advised to transition to VA-API / Mesa Multimedia. Some examples of ffmpeg use cases with VA-API / Mesa Multimedia are shown below:
- Hardware Decode:
- Hardware Encode:
- ffmpeg -vaapi_device /dev/dri/renderD128 -i in.mp4 -vf hwupload,scale_vaapi=format=nv12 -c:v h264_vaapi out.mp4
- Hardware Transcode:
- ffmpeg -vaapi_device /dev/dri/renderD128 -hwaccel vaapi - hwaccel_output_format vaapi -i in.mp4 -c:v hevc_vaapi out.mp4
