Ah yes, well that is sort of what I've discovered too, but at some point I gave up. I've never gotten the proprietary AMD drivers to work. Either they are not supported, or there are install errors.
I actually messed up my system pretty bad trying to install the latest AMD drivers to get ray tracing. The install didn't work, so I hacked some files to proceed, and it bricked my system.
So I had to boot up in a Live USB, chroot into my system (which is a PITA cause I have full disk encryption and physical hardware key authentication) and then manually remove the failed AMD driver.
But I got it working. I would consider it a learning experience. I guess if you're not used to it, it can seem like a huge deal, but I kind of figured out how things work, so I make sure to be careful and not break the system.
It happens, that kind of comes with using Linux. I mean, Windows is not free from issues either, but it definitely gets first class support from big companies. With Linux you are on your own.
