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.

Meanwhile using stable diffusion with an nvidia card for too long makes cuda crash with failed assertions.
I hope AMD improves ROCm for consumer cards instead of focusing too much on graphics. The 24GB of VRAM on the 7900 XTX would be great for running LLMs, but with the state of ROCm it's not really worth it when a used 3090 can do the job just as not-so-well.
I use Stable Diffusion with ROCm on Linux. Works great and no need to install the big bloat ROCm from the package manager. I've written an installation guide for Arch, but with little changes it should work on other distributions as well: https://gist.github.com/NoXPhasma/ba42b615c0ed1cb0c2b3a4a1b359ccf7
Nice to hear, maybe I will get that XTX then.
I also recently switched to arch and I'd really enjoy having a driver that doesn't crash my entire system when I change the balance of the HDMI audio
