Outdated. See [[AMD: Installing Linux Mint 19]]
== Prepare installation media ==
* A USB DVD-ROM drive or a USB Flash drive of at least 2GB should be used as installation media
* RadeonSI exceed the ATI Catalyst video driver in many benchmark tests
* RadeonSI provides HW video acceleration for wider range of video codecs
$ sudo apt-get install mesa-vdpau-drivers-lts-vivid vdpau-va-driver vainfo vdpauinfo $ cd /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/ $ sudo ln -s vdpau_drv_video.so radeonsi_drv_video.so
* Run vainfo and vdpauinfo commands to view list of supported accelerated profiles
* Both of them use HW accelerated video decoding and give excellent playback quality
* Both of them compatible with the most popular video formats
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc/ppa $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get install kodi vlc
* Kodi will support HW video acceleration out of the box
* In VLC you need to select Tools->Preferences->Input and Codecs->Hardware-accelerated decoding->Video Acceleration (VA) API
