Why doesn´t my Blender in Linux detect a compatible GPU on the HIP tab on Cycles Render Devices section of the System setting?

Notes:

I dual boot my laptop with Windows 11 and Linux Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS.
My device is Lenovo Ideapad Slim 3 14ABA7 which uses AMD Ryzen™ 5 5625U Mobile Processors with AMD Radeon™ Graphics.
I only get this problem in Linux.
I installed Blender on Linux using the way that provided by the Blender official documentation.

In Linux

When I opened my Blender setting and go to the System and selected the HIP tab on the Cycles Render Devices, it shows like this: The setting windows screenshot on Linux

In Windows

But, when I open the Setting then go to System and selected the HIP tab on the Cycles Render Devices, it shows like this: The same setting windows but in Windows

What should I do so that my Blender in Linux can detect the GPU and utilise the HIP?

What I have tried on my Linux:

Download the Radeon™ Software for Linux® version 22.40.5 for Ubuntu 22.04.2 from https://repo.radeon.com/amdgpu-install/22.40.5/ubuntu/jammy/amdgpu-install_5.4.50405-1_all.deb
Installing it using the way that provided by the documentation (https://amdgpu-install.readthedocs.io/en/latest/install-prereq.html): a. Installing the Installer Package

$ cd ~/Downloads
# For Ubuntu:
$ sudo apt-get install ./amdgpu-install-VERSION.deb
$ sudo apt-get update

b. Open the manpage of amdgpu-install by invoke amdgpu-install -h and then amdgpu-install --list-usecaseon my terminal window to learn how to utilise amdgpu-install to install the AMDGPU stack. c. Then I decided to invoke this line in my terrminal Window: amdgpu-install --usecase=graphics,opencl,hip --opencl=legacy --vulkan=amdvlk --accept-eula.

When I was doing those steps, I expected that my system would be able to detect my GPU and so did the Blender. And thus the Blender could use the HIP ability.

I have solved this problem several days ago

What the problem was:

What I have tried on my Linux by installing Radeon™ Software for Linux® version 22.40.5 for Ubuntu 22.04.2 the way that the documentation provided was correct. The problem was I didn't know that after installing it, I should have added my [user_name] into the video and render groups by invoking the following commands:

sudo usermod -a -G video [user]

sudo usermod -a -G render [user]

What I have done to solve:

But unfortunately, I had thoroughly uninstalled the Radeon™ Software for Linux® version 22.40.5 for Ubuntu 22.04.2. Therefore, I reinstalled it the way as I said in the question above. But on the step of invoking the command amdgpu-install --usecase=graphics,opencl,hip --opencl=legacy --vulkan=amdvlk --accept-eula, I invoked the default command amdgpu-install -y (which installed the usecases: dkms,graphics,opencl,hip) instead since I didn't really know what the vulkan was and what it was used for.

After that, I added my [user_name] into the video and render groups by invoking the following commands:

sudo usermod -a -G video [user]

sudo usermod -a -G render [user]

This is the screenshot of the HIP tab on the Cycles Render Devices in my Blender in Linux after doing that:

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
