And thats a pretty big annoyance. You need to perfectly line up all the holes in the swiss cheese for the AMD stack to work, then their dev team kicks you in the nuts anyway.

They have made a few attempts at investing in the hardware, but the software side is letting them down hard, and that part is almost entirely their own fault. They have underinvestment in their own stack, and into popular standard and Community libraries that would make it easy to use their gear.

Yep, it definitely wasn't an "out-of-box" experience. This was on Ubuntu 25.10. Maybe other distros are better?

Also, when you do Python work, you have to remember to install dependencies like pytorch from an alternate repo, otherwise you wind up with the CUDA versions that only use the CPU and not the GPU through ROCm.
