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.

How does it work for ML and AI tasks with AMD and their ROCm? I really despise Nvidia as a company but unfortunately when it comes to AI/ML and other productivity tasks AMD is just much inferior to Nvidia's offering. Otherwise I would have definitely been very interested in the AMD 7900XTX, that has everything for pretty much half the price of 4090.
Install the ROCm version of packages and it mostly works (at least on Arch, and I assume Ubuntu since it has official packages from AMD.)
I am also using arch anyway, even though I am thinking of switching to Void now. I am just a bit worried about the "mostly" part. I was toying with the idea of getting 4060Ri with 16Gb of RAM, because of the VRAM. The other two cards are 4080 and 4090 I was considering but both are overpriced, especially the 4080.
