>The open driver is great under linux because it bypasses AMD's craptacular support. But AMD doesn't support consumer GPUs in ROCm under Linux, and de-facto they don't seem to support ROCm on the open driver in the first place anyway, you have to use AMDGPU-PRO (according to geohot's investigations).

While they don't officially support any consumer GPU aside from 7900XT(X) and VII, I haven't encountered any issues using it on a 6700XT with the open source drivers, pretty much the only tinkering required was to export HSA_OVERRIDE_GFX_VERSION=10.3.0. It was quite a pleasant surprise after never getting my RX480 to work even though it was officially supported back in the day.
