As far as I was aware AMDGPU is used by default on most if not all distros so I still think its a bit confusing to decide which to use for your needs at first unless you check the video I linked. I noticed a performance increase after forcing RADV on NixOS so not really sure.
Sidenote why cant AMDGPU and RADV combine their efforts to simplify and rename AMDGPU-PRO to AMDGPU-unfree because that itself is confusing since most people will be drawn to use the PRO version without realising the worse performance.
Most people will tell you there is no difference between AMDVLK drivers and RADV but clearly there is since RADV is what Valve uses for the Steam Deck. Heres a great video comparing the three options AMD has for linux.

I personally chose RADV after looking into this myself and the only drawback from my understanding is that they are proprietary drivers. Do not use AMDGPU-PRO ever though.

3·9 days agoGood keep wasting money Ubisoft maybe one day you will finally go bankrupt having to sell beyond good and evil to someone who actually cares and remove your launcher from our games.
I cant seem to use it without signing in which sucks, might consider just submitting to youtube soon anyway since no good competitor is being made. Too big to fail and all that.

I tried that and it wasnt good. Though I was on windows at the time. So Waydroid is a godsend, its pushy with the licensing which was annoying to deal with
I love the vimix cursors
Havent read this yet but I bet Steam Deck helped with this a ton
Steam introduced gameplay recording this year and it works very well. Kinda annoying to use though since you must add markers for the clips you want to save then go back later after you’re done and clip them from the 2 hour recording period.
Decent, for now until ROCM & ZLUDA improve. I use NixOS and run my AI stuff using docker containers as its the easiest way imo because of how fucked up the dependencies are for ROCM especially.
Basically to get AMD working for this stuff right now is to make sure certain versions of ROCM for certain versions of projects interacting with certain versions of pytorch all like each other. The most dependency hell of all dependency hells.
So most projects have a hell of a time supporting ROCM so you must use alternative forks mostly, and even if there is a ROCM version it is so hardly used that no one knows if it works or if it doesnt half the time. I will say you will have the EASIEST time by far if you use a 7900 XT because most things are built to support that card. Otherwise good luck. Get used to using environment variables such as:
HSA_OVERRIDE_GFX_VERSION=11.0.0 (Or 10.3.0 if that one doesnt work. I use 11.0.1, these are codes for GPU’s supported by ROCM incase yours isnt supported)
TL:DR - its all a big mess right now but it does work if you fuck with it a bunch, I got my 7800 XT to work nicely with Ollama + OpenWebUI for text generation. For stable diffusion its definitely a shit show atleast for my preferred UI Invoke AI. Doesnt work at all it only uses my CPU (also AMD so maybe some fuckery.) However I dont regret it as AMD is truly the best especially on Linux but definitely not for AI as it currently stands.
Already bought mine months ago and have been enjoying it, not so much the ROCM side of things but eh.
Oh hell yeah this will save us AMD users so much headache, I really dont understand why it was taken down recently.
From what I understood it was AMD having a problem with ZLUDA but now suddenly its okay again? Whatever as long as ROCM is improved or benefitted by this im happy.
Damn ubisoft might just be the worst gaming company ever created at this point if they have employees crying about not being able to buy that second boat or beachfront property cause gamers have had enough of it
I wish japanese google was the only google we had, such creative minds
Me and the boys cashing out in the finals while this burns
Damn im the same, Id say it means we anxious but we got that dog in us for better or worse
I use proton vpn secure core on my desktop browser via the extension and mullvad everywhere else, I like it for that but not much else since mullvad is just better with their ram only servers
I really love NixOS and use it on all my devices. Its not as difficult as people say and it really makes the linux experience a piece of cake once you get it down.
The single config file to control almost everything is just what I was looking for in linux and the fact that it solved any kind of dependency hell I have experienced in the past is huge. If I had to list a top 3 it would be NixOS, Fedora, and Arch.
