    I just installed Ubuntu 20.04 on my new laptop, and I would like to install the proprietary drivers so I can use gamma correction.

    CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 4700U
    GPU: Integrated Graphics Renoir

    Output from lspci

    $ lspci -v | grep VGA -A 1
    03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Renoir (rev c2)    (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
    Subsystem: Acer Incorporated [ALI] Renoir
    

    I tried to use the Software & Updates manager, but no proprietary driver shows up.
    I also tried to visit the product's page to see if a linux driver was downloadable, but nothing.

    I can provide any other information if needed.

    Thanks in advance !
