From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I use the pre-built drivers in kernel. No need to worry or anything, just plug-and-play.
You don't want amdgpu-pro unless you're doing something really specific that needs OpenGL and OpenCL. amdgpu built-in is good enough for most games and use cases.
Mesa is just a graphic library. You'll need it.
Edit:
amdgpu-pro may be even worse to gaming then the amdgpu built-in.
Thans for clarifying. You say I need Mesa. Is that a seperate install or part of the driver?
It's probably already installed. It wouldn't be working if it wasn't
