    I’m curious. Say you are getting a new computer, put Debian on, want to run e.g. DeepSeek via ollama via a container (e.g. Docker or podman) and also play, how easy or difficult is it?

    On the host system, you don’t need to do anything. AMDGPU and Mesa are included on most distros.

    For LLMs you can go the easy route and just install the Alpaca flatpak and the AMD addon. It will work out of the box and uses ollama in the background.

    If you need a Docker container for it: AMD provides the handy rocm/dev-ubuntu-${UBUNTU_VERSION}:${ROCM_VERSION}-complete images. They contain all the required ROCm dependencies and runtimes and you can just install your stuff ontop of it.

    As for GPU passthrough, all you need to do is add a device link for /dev/kfd and /dev/dri and you are set. For example, in a docker-compose.yml you just add this:

        devices:
      - /dev/kfd:/dev/kfd
      - /dev/dri:/dev/dri

    For example, this is the entire Dockerfile needed to build ComfyUI from scratch with ROCm. The user/group commands are only needed to get the container groups to align with my Fedora host system.

ARG ROCM_VERSION=6.3
ARG BASE_ROCM_DEV_CONTAINER=rocm/dev-ubuntu-${UBUNTU_VERSION}:${ROCM_VERSION}-complete

#ARG ROCM_DOCKER_ARCH=gfx1030
# For 7000 series

    That used to be the case, yes.

    Alpaca pretty much allows running LLM out of the box on AMD after installing the ROCm addon in Discover/Software. LM Studio also works perfectly.

    Image generation is a little bit more complicated. ComfyUI supports AMD when all ROCm dependencies are installed and the PyTorch version is swapped for the AMD version.

    However, ComfyUI provides no builds for Linux or AMD right now and you have to build it yourself. I currently use a simple Docker container for ComfyUI which just takes the AMD ROCm image and installs ComfyUI ontop.

    Bought the Wolfenstein bundle in the last GOG sale. Almost done with Wolfenstein: The New Order. The german in the English dub is hilarious, somebody really had some fun while dubbing.

    I also bought 1000xRESIST on Steam. No idea what to expect from that game but the ratings are really good and the trailer looked cool.

    Also, there’s another Monster Hunter Wilds beta this weekend and apparently the crashes I had in the first beta are fixed so I might get to try it this time.
