P.S. AMDGPU-PRO 18.10 was just released and it works on Ubuntu 18.04,
including OpenCL, provided the kernel is 4.13¹. RX Vega64 + darktable do
the venerable bench.SRW in 2.5s. No issues with Xorg/KDE.


1. 4.13 can be installed from kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline or
by pinning linux-image-generic to 17.10 Artful (that way one gets
updates too).
