Thank you for sharing this talk! Literally sweating as the ramifications started to hit me while watching it. Probably the most profound video I have watched in many years.

Whoa this is awesome! Thanks!

I may be at a loss as to how everything fits together. I was trying to get SD running for months on TW before I gave up. Then just booted Ubuntu and it worked. So I always assumed it was something kernel related since upstream only supports the non-rolling distros.

What I need is probably an up-to-date write-up that is distro specific to TW. Meanwhile, I will probably try to compile ROCm and follow the suggestion in https://slrpnk.net/comment/2780338 and try to get rocm-opencl-runtime working.

Oh neat. Thanks for the clarification. Maybe that’s all I need to do to patch my TW system to get it working!

Nice. I am partial towards the rolling-release model so once my new hard drive arrives, I might take the plunge and just do an Arch install. What’s the latest no-frills way to go from installation to a working system for Arch Linux derivatives?

Oh yeah. I like Nix. I have nixpkgs running on Tumbleweed too. But yeah, the base OS needs to be stable to be compatible with ROCm stuff, so that’s why I have Ubuntu installed in a separate partition.

Thanks for the suggestion. The problem is getting the ROCm kernels running. I looked into containers for ROCm support and unsurprisingly, my host OS needs it first.

Hope it works out for you! It would be a pain to always have to reload the references and notes for stuff so I’d rather just have it stick around.

Alternatively, you could create a profile, for example name your profile a1111. To summon it run firefox -p a1111 then change the options to always clear the cache, never store cookies, never keep a history, and you have effectively created a private browsing tab.

Or better yet, you have a completely separate profile just for A1111 that will not interfere with your regular browsing.

It should be fairly easy to find the line to launch a browser window in the config then to launch the profile you just created.
