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.
