vkdt

Original founder of darktable, hanatos, went and made vkdt which fixes a bunch of my pet peeves with darktable: https://github.com/hanatos/vkdt https://jo.dreggn.org/vkdt/ * Vulkan instead of OpenCL has way better performance. * Graph-based editing akin to Blender. This fixes the issue of it being annoying and weird to reorder modules in darktable It is, of course, still early on in its development and way less mature and featureful than Darktable.

My bad, I meant vkdt. https://github.com/hanatos/vkdt/ A vulkan-powered image processing software. The OP mentions it in his post

I think he meant this: https://github.com/hanatos/vkdt

> I don't have any ROCm-specific kernel drivers loaded I'm pretty sure it needs amdkfd, which is not really "specific" but doesn't have any other consumers. > but OpenCL on my AMD GPU works fine Well, if instead of ROCm (or proprietary "pro" stuff) you have Mesa's Clover… that's the opposite of fine. I mean, fine for simple things, but Darktable won't work (no image support), Blender won't work (just too complex lol)… --- my casual user opinion: I HATE ALL the special compute-specific GPU APIs. I don't want a special fancy kernel driver that loads everything differently, I don't like OpenCL and other unusual special garbage. Please please please just use Vulkan compute shaders for everything. (And thankfully, people are starting to do that https://github.com/nihui/waifu2x-ncnn-vulkan https://github.com/hanatos/vkdt …)
