There is hope at least. Currently ROCm is pretty terrible.

Also, this is what the average dev thinks of ROCm.

If they could just help big distros package binaries that’d be great. I was unable to use their handy dandy installer to install on Debian 11 a couple of months ago, been meaning to try again now Debian 12 is available.

If AMD wanted to get real serious real fast about rapidly improving drivers, could releasing Radeon driver source code under AGPLv3 help get mass development and fixes for drivers, while at the same time due to the license make the code untouchable for nVidia?

Both RadV and RadeonSI (both part of Mesa) are better than their Radeon driver these days. They should just abandon that unnecessary kludge and fully focus on the open-source drivers.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
