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.

I use ROCm for inference, both text generation via llama.cpp/LMStudio and image generation via ComfyUI.

Works pretty much perfectly on a 6900 XT. Very fast and easy to setup.

I had issues with some libraries only supporting CUDA when trying to train, but that was almost 6 months ago so things probably have improved in that area as well.
