There is also an AUR package which contains only the OpenCL part of the AMDGPU PRO driver. You might want to check that out if you don’t want to install the entire proprietary driver.
Also, check if your GPU has OpenCL support on Linux with the latest AMD drivers. I once had the problem that my GPU was supported in one version but not in the next.

You can also check my old thread about performance on OpenCL under Linux, thou it’s outdated as the performance regression was fixed recently:
Since this issue was reopened: https://developer.blender.org/T73460, and I have machine with dual RVII GPUs, I’ve decided to bench this cards under Linux. OS: Linux, Debian Buster 64 bit, kernel: 5.4.0-0.bpo.2-rt-amd64 (5.4.8-1~bpo10+1; amd64) ...
