well, today i (partially) realized why my basic drivers don't work: the preinstalled packages amdgpu and amdgpu-dkms seem to not work due to amdgpu-dkms being unconfigured. tried configuring it and got the same error. around about there my system stopped using even the iGPU and i had to uninstall some other drivers (thanks @lena@gregtech.eu )

Which distro are you using? AMD has been completely plug-and-play for me.

My R9 390 was a huge pain in the ass to get working on any distro, but I think it was the last card before they fixed whatever issue it was.

Yeah, afaik it's exactly one of the cards that require manual intervention or a switch to the radeon driver. Bad generation to run on Linux.

I have a r9 380. It's been amazing on Linux

This was on Windows:

Have you enabled Southern Islands support as a kernel parameter? Your generation of GPU was originally supported on radeon, so you need to explicitly enable SI (Southern Islands) support to use amdgpu.
