Starting from Linux Mint 18.1 AMDGPU-PRO driver cannot be installed as it reports that the OS is not supported. This is due to the way the driver checks the distribution name:
``` function os_release() { [[ -r /etc/os-release ]] && . /etc/os-release
case "$ID" in ubuntu) PACKAGES="amdgpu-pro amdgpu-pro-lib32 amdgpu-pro-dkms" ;; ```
When I replace the `ubuntu` string with `linuxmint` (which is the current OS ID), the driver installed correctly.
