Error when installing AMDGPU drivers on Fedora

A website with the make log is linked. I'm having a problem with installing drivers on my Fedora install. I have an RX6600 and would like to install the amdgpu drivers. I've tried trough dnf and the official amdgpu-install script. Any ideas why this compile error is happening? Actually considering going to Arch or Ubuntu because of this. I've had a lot of problems with AMD drivers on Fedora. I would like to also use Blender GPU Rendering. This is what their page says about it. The drivers I had previously were the normal ones. Now I'm having problems installing any drivers.

HIP – AMD

HIP is supported on Windows and Linux and requires a AMD graphics card with the Vega architecture or newer. Both discrete GPUs and APUs are supported.

Supported GPUs include:

            Radeon VII

        Radeon RX Vega Series

        Radeon RX 5000 Series

        Radeon RX 6000 Series

        Radeon RX 7000 Series

        Radeon Pro WX 9100

        Radeon Pro W6000 Series

Minimum driver versions:

            Windows: Radeon Software 21.12.1 or Radeon PRO Software 21.Q4

        Linux: Radeon Software 22.10 or ROCm 5.3

Please refer to AMD’s website for more information about AMD graphics cards and their architectures.

Would I need to install ROCm? Trough their AMD's install script it was represented as an option, but I ran into the same problem here.

AMDGPU drivers are a part of Linux itself, so you shouldn't need to install them manually. They're already there.
What Blender seems to want is ROCm HIP. The rocm-hip package might be what it wants? Try to install it and see if that works.
- So, see the other comment for the dnf message when installing amdgpu-core. Everything else except amdgpu-core gets installed properly. The error says ERROR: This package can only be installed on EL8. Which makes no sense.
  
  Did you add a repo for RHEL8 to your Fedora install? Please, undo that.
  Please, don't blindly follow instructions you find online, particularly when it comes down to installing something as important as drivers.
  Installing drivers from third party sources should be done only as the last resort and only if you know exactly what you're doing.
- Well, I figured that out. But the problem is now my drivers are kind of broken. The error you are seeing in the log is what is not letting me download the drivers.
Ok, update. I removed some improper repos that the amdgpu-install had installed and I got things mostly working. Only problem is that rendering in Blender on GPU crashes it and I can't seem to get good logs for the problem. I will try to get some logs and post them here.
Also, if I basically remove everything, I will get this error:
