rfile#... has, in addition to fan and power controls, automatic updates on desktop, supergfxctl, system76-scheduler, and an fsync kernel: rpm-ostree install rocm-hip \ rocm-opencl \ rocm-clinfo But it's not `rpm-ostree install --apply-live` because its a Containerfile. To install a ublue-os distro, you install any of the Fedora ostree distros: {Silverblue, Kinoite, Sway Atomic, or Budgie Atomic} from e.g. a USB stick and then `rpm-ostree rebase <OCI_host_image_url>`: rpm-ostree rebase ostree-unverified-registry:ghcr.io/ublue-os/bazzite:stable rpm-ostree rebase ostree-unverified-registry:ghcr.io/ublue-os/bazzite-nvidia:stable rpm-ostree rebase ostree-image-signed: ublue-os/config//build/ublue-os-just/40-nvidia.just defines the `ujust configure-nvidia` and `ujust toggle-nvk` commands: https://github.com/ublue-os/config/blob/main/build/ublue-os-...

And Fedora supports OCI containers as host images and also podman container images with just systemd to respawn one or a pod of containers.
In AMD funded a drop-in CUDA implementation built on ROCm: It's now open-source
xahrepap·Oct 6, 2023
I know it's still different than what you're looking for, so you probably already know this, but many projects like this have the Dockerfile on github which shows exactly how they set up the image. For example: https://github.com/RadeonOpenCompute/ROCm-docker/blob/master... They also have some for Fedora. Looks like for this you need to install their repo: curl -sL https://repo.radeon.com/rocm/rocm.gpg.key | apt-key add - \ && printf "deb [arch=amd64] https://repo.radeon.com/rocm/apt/$ROCM_VERSION/ jammy main" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/rocm.list \ && printf "deb [arch=amd64] https://repo.radeon.com/amdgpu/$AMDGPU_VERSION/ubuntu jammy main" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/amdgpu.list \ then install Python, a couple other dependencies (build-essential, etc) and then the package in question: rocm-dev So they are doing the pack

In AMD may get across the CUDA moat
fxtentacle·Jul 4, 2022
I believe ROCm isn't usable yet. I don't know anyone who successfully trained a state of the art neural network on anything that was not NVIDIA. AMD keeps offering their own forks of PyTorch and TensorFlow, but last time I checked they were years outdated, and nobody uses them. So either PyTorch/TensorFlow are secretly sponsored by NVIDIA, or AMD's and Apple's CUDA replacements aren't mature enough yet. Given how many bugs there still are in CUDA despite them being around for a long time, I'd guess that building a GPU-capable BLAS library is just a lot more work than one would think. I mean I also always wonder why CUDA comes with 400 MB of GPU shaders ... but apparently they need that to cover every edge case in a fast way. FYI, this is the ROCm "getting started" guide: https://github.com/RadeonOpenCompute/ROCm-docker/blob/master... NVID
