Last I checked, there is no support for AMD GPU's on the Linux GUI. We have no linux UI developer with hardware to test so unless a patch comes in, it will remain a HandBrakeCLI only feature.

Given how problematic it is on linux, It may always stay that way for advanced users to tinker with only.

Gotcha. Can someone refer me to the instructions for using handbrake cli with an AMD encoder?
