These drivers are only available directly from AMD and are geared more towards professional applications. Since Ubuntu 18.04 is a LTS release it will be officially supported by AMD with the AMDGPU-PRO drivers. Either way, you’re going to have great experience working with AMD on Ubuntu 18.04. They’re already installed, and you can configure your system to receive constant performance-boosting upgrades from the latest Mesa releases.
The open source drivers that come with Ubuntu are probably better for gamers, though. Because Bionic is an LTS release, you do have the option of using the proprietary AMDGPU-PRO drivers. If you’re planning on using an AMD graphics card with Ubuntu 18.04, you have a couple of options.
