How can I get started with Blender Cycles/HIP Rendering?

Okay, it turns out that the “Experimental” Feature Set option was a red herring. It doesn’t actually matter whether the “Supported” or “Experimental” Feature Set is used. It turns out that opening Edit > Preferences is what actually gets GPU rendering to work.

Corrected summary of how I got Blender Cycles to use my Radeon RX 5700 XT on Fedora:

  1. Followed the instructions which were written by u/szooloo & repeated by @bhibb
  2. Followed @joni999’s extra steps
  3. For every new Blender session, before rendering with Cycles, opened Blender’s Preferences menu.

The Preferences menu does not need to remain open for this to work.
