I had this issue and it only worked when I downloaded it from the website and ran it, not from steam or flatpak. I don't have it installed anymore and I'm not sure what the underlying issue was, but you can try that.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

What version of Blender do you have running? You can try to add yourself to the video and render group which may get it working. In terminal:
sudo usermod -a -G video [user]
sudo usermod -a -G render [user]
Do you have it installed via flatpack/snap? IIRC flatpack/snap doesn't support AMD Hip.
Grab the tarball from here and give that a shot.
Had it installed via steam, gave it a shot, sadly didn't work. But thanks still :D
Maybe you have to install the proprietary driver including the OpenCL stack. See https://amdgpu-install.readthedocs.io/en/latest/install-installing.html
