Help...First time installing a Radeon on Linux (7800 XT) (lemm.ee)

Hi guys! Brand new PC...And I'm trying to install its brand new 7800XT. I've chosen KDE Neon, as it was my previous OS, and I've grown to like it. I'd like to stick with it if possible...I'm writing this preamble, because when I try to run amdgpu-install from the AMD downloads page, all I get is:

Unsupported OS: /etc/os-release ID 'neon'

So...what can I do? Neon is mostly Ubuntu 22.04 to most effects. Kernel is 6.2.0-36-generic.

Thanks!

The kernel in use should support RDNA3, I believe.

Edit: judging from the comment made a bit ago, it wasn't the kernel or mesa, they were just missing the firmware. And yeah, that'll do it. I remember being frustrated with my 7900xtx not working on Pop! before I pulled in the firmware back on release.
