Background:
I've been using Mint-Cinnamon since around version 18 off and on and Linux since 1999 but took a break from using it as my daily driver starting in mid-2015. I recently upgraded to 20.1 and after breaking my amdgpu driver install a few times I think I've got everything working again. I had installed (amdgpu-pro) OpenCL last year to do some Folding@Home and hadn't really touched it in a while. Have upgraded to 20.50 amdgpu-pro if everything installed correctly. Yes, I'm currently using Kernel 5.8, the driver builds fine against 5.4 and 5.8 for me. I've tried using 5.4 with the same results. One of the obscure issues I had was I didn't know I had to set the VK_ICD_FILENAMES environment variable after installing the drivers.
Issue:
I've heard that VRR / FreeSync now works in Vulkan. If so, what do I need to install / configure to get it working?

[ 11.014] (II) AMDGPU(0): [DRI2] VDPAU driver: radeonsiMarking as solved. VRR is now enabled (see reply post) and engaging, with some issues in Cinnamon. Guessing it might have something to do with either the compositor or VSync. Works for native applications but not for WINE/Proton applications with "Disable compositing for full-screen windows" checked. Maybe Steam is not running the WINE application in fullscreen which would disable the compositor? Everything now works in kde-plasma-desktop, including Vulkan apps through WINE/Proton.
