As someone who bought a RX580 for playing with Deep learning with ROCm (It was supported at the time). After posting to one or two bug threads, I had the same experience as the gp -- our issues were ignored. The issues have recently closed as the RX580 is no longer supported.

As for long term success, good luck, but once bitten twice shy.

I empathize. There have been plenty of mistakes. Trust is difficult to earn, and clearly we have not acted in a manner deserving of yours.

When I first encountered ROCm, my impressions were mixed. The idea thrilled me, but the execution did not. I planned to ignore ROCm until it was clear that it would meet my needs. Obviously, my plans changed, but I haven't forgotten the perspective I had as a potential user.

There are still rough edges and I know that nobody gets third chances, so it's good that you're cautious. We are steadily improving and I believe we will do better in supporting our users going forward, but to earn that trust back, we will have to prove it through our actions.
