I don’t think AMDVLK is even installed by default with Fedora.

From that link I sent you it seems like it has to, because it's the low-level driver, and then RADV is a user space one that calls into it.

That's basically what I'm asking you about, if I'm understanding you correctly, you're saying it's an either or, but that other comment that I linked you states that they're both needed, one is system level, and the other is user space level.

No, AMDVLK is also a user space driver. You're confusing it with AMDGPU, which is a kernel module.

Ah, ok. Thanks.
