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.

Too little too late.

Already sold my 3070 and went for an 7900 XT bcs i got fed up with NVidia being lazy

Good. This is the better overall solution

well i dearly miss CUDA as i don't get ZLUDA to work properly with Stable Diffusion and FSR is sill leagues behind DLSS... but yeah overall i am very happy

You can run Ollama with AMD acceleration

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 months ago (1 children)
  1. yes i know, but Cuda is faster
  2. Ollama is for LLM, Stable Diffusion is for images

I'm aware I wanted to point out that AMD isn't totally useless in AI.

Oh it definetly isn't

Everything I need does run and I finally don't run out of vram so easily 😅

I had to update my laptop about two years ago and decided to go full AMD and it's been awesome. I've been running Wayland as a daily driver the whole time and and I don't even really notice it anymore.

If the day comes I want to upgrade my 3080 I’ll switch to an AMD solution but until then I’ll take any improvement I can get from Nvidia.

I don't believe Nvidia were the one's being lazy in this regard, they submitted the merge request for explicit sync quite some time ago now. Wayland devs essentially took their sweet time merging the code.
