Error when installing AMDGPU drivers on Fedora
(pastes.io)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

AMDGPU drivers are a part of Linux itself, so you shouldn't need to install them manually. They're already there.
What Blender seems to want is ROCm HIP. The
rocm-hip
package might be what it wants? Try to install it and see if that works.So, see the other comment for the dnf message when installing amdgpu-core. Everything else except amdgpu-core gets installed properly. The error says ERROR: This package can only be installed on EL8. Which makes no sense.
Did you add a repo for RHEL8 to your Fedora install? Please, undo that.
Please, don't blindly follow instructions you find online, particularly when it comes down to installing something as important as drivers.
Installing drivers from third party sources should be done only as the last resort and only if you know exactly what you're doing.
I just realized this myself as well and posted it into an another comment. Should have replied here instead. But now the only problem is Blender crashing.
This is all the logs I seem to get. The logs before the cat command are from running Blender.

Looks like you're hitting a known bug that isn't fixed yet.
Reportedly, ROCm 5.6.1 is the lastest working version, so you could try to downgrade. Something
dnf install rocm-*-5.6.1
should do the trick.
