Is any easy way to install it on non buntu distro?

Installed this from AUR yesterday to manjaro and works flawlessly for ROTR. Even smoother and better framerates than RADV 19.2.6 stable. (RX 480 8GB kernel 5.3.12)

Very simple. If you have AMDGPU already installed on your system and active as your default driver then just use an ubuntu:18.04 docker image and follow the instructions on this page

https://github.com/GPUOpen-Drivers/AMDVLK#install-with-pre-built-driver

It will generate library and json files for vulkanicdloader. Copy 4 files to respective folders.

and tadaaa... You have multiple vulkan drivers. If there are new releases you don't have to delete the old. Just update with new libs and adjust json files as needed.

This new AMDVLK fails to run SoTR and game crashes with segfault 11 everytime after you see the developer studio info with RX 480. Interesting.
