  • Just pay nvidia their ill-earned ounce of flesh. I say this as a strong AMD advocate.

    It’s clear that AMD isn’t serious about the AI market. They had years to provide a proper competitor to CUDA or at the very least a 1:1 compatibility layer. Instead of doing either of these things, AMD continued messing with half-assed projects like ROCm and the other one the name of which I don’t care to look up. AMD has the resources to build a CUDA compatible API in under 6 months but for some reason they don’t. I don’t know why they don’t, and at this point I don’t really care.

    Buy an AMD GPU for AI at your own risk.


  • People use rocky/centos because they don’t want to deal with the hassles of licensing while also keeping the door open to an upgrade to RHEL if needed. I think this will be a net positive for Debian and Debian-based distros thanks to enterprise infra switching to Ubuntu which offers this (free use and an upgrade path to full compliance/commercial support.

    Them closing up completely undermines their UVP.
