Blender doesn't recognize discrete GPU

Framework Laptop 16 Linux

Blender doesn’t seem to recognize my GPU. I’ve tried the tarball, the flatpak, and the version from apt. Nothing works. Am I missing something?

It tells me I need AMD driver version 22.10 or newer, but I can’t seem to find my driver version. How could I find the version, or update it if necessary

Problem solved.
Run this command:

sudo usermod -a -G video $USER && sudo usermod -a -G render $USER

Then reboot. Hope this helps someone else.
