I thought I would share my experience this evening with the group here seeing that I still excited as hell for getting this hodgepodge to work at all.

I have been playing with the machineMl version of stable diffusion on Windows for a while now (we won't go into the reasons why, but I have the 6800XT, which is not well suited to this use case)

Automatic11111 on MachineML is dog slow, but I got some interesting results. So today I cleared out an old SSD, wired it up and installed a clean ubuntu. Following this guide I managed to get rocM running and the difference is like chalk and cheese. Or rather Impulse and Warp drive. Totally crazy!

So for you AMD Radeon users out there. There is hope. It is in Linux, but it is there.

No problem, backup and be careful. I think AMD still has a lot that can be done in the rocm drivers themselves. There should be gains left to make. Nvidia is not helping with their pricing either. Which should see more users on AMD. Hopefully better support for us. I am pleasantly surprised by what the card can do. I got it for gaming at 1440p, where it was the best bang for buck. The AI stuff is a cool bonus.
