It’s mostly to properly support the MI300 as its required for them, but yeah hopefully Fedora puts the resources into it AMD hasn’t.

I avoid ROCm because I think I gotta use AMD's proprietary drivers, but I'm not sure. Also I'm using a Vega 56 so who knows if I'll ever get support for it.

You do, it’s also unstable as F…
So absolutely frustrating so many kernel or dependancy issues. We keep trying to leave CUDA and AMD keep sending us right back.
