Thanks for your time and effort with this problem, I really appreciate it.
But I have 2 issues with your last reply:
#1
Blockquote
Edit /etc/os-release and replace Ubuntu version with what installer wants.
The installer fails at a distribution dependency update with no arguments:
$ sudo apt install amdgpu -y
[...]
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
rocm-llvm : Depends: python but it is not installable
Depends: libstdc++-5-dev but it is not installable or
libstdc++-7-dev but it is not installable
Depends: libgcc-5-dev but it is not installable or
libgcc-7-dev but it is not installable
Recommends: gcc-multilib but it is not going to be installed
Recommends: g++-multilib but it is not going to be installed

And never once did it complained about Linux version.
#2.
By downloading The Official AMD Driver which markets this specific version of Ubuntu it still doesn't work natively. Then why isn't AMD keen enough to provide the source and avoid all of this mess?
But you are right: let's focus on the matter at hand. Here's the result of the command:

At this point I had to apt search opencl and there are several hits. But I believe this one matters the most here:
% sudo apt install opencl-amdgpu-pro

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
