+  * With the introduction of 25.20-based Linux drivers, the AMDVLK driver is no longer included in the amdgpu-pro driver package. This is a result of the AMDVLK open-source project being discontinued as mentioned [here](https://github.com/GPUOpen-Drivers/AMDVLK/discussions/416). Instead, the RADV open-source Vulkan® driver is installed by default. Consequently, the Radeon Developer Panel does not support capturing data from Vulkan applications when using these newer driver releases. To analyze Linux Vulkan workloads with Radeon GPU Profiler (RGP), Radeon Raytracing Analyzer (RRA), or Radeon Memory Visualizer (RMV), users can opt for a 25.10-based driver. Alternatively, analysis can be performed using the data capture mechanism integrated within the RADV driver, although this method is not supported by the Radeon Developer Panel. For more information on configuring RADV, refer to the environment variable documentation, specifically the [MESA_VK_TRACE_* environment variables](https://docs.mesa3d.org/envvars.html#envvar-MESA_VK_TRACE) which can be utilized for enabling and configuring tracing.
