I'm pretty sure it needs amdkfd, which is not really "specific" but doesn't have any other consumers.

Well, if instead of ROCm (or proprietary "pro" stuff) you have Mesa's Clover… that's the opposite of fine. I mean, fine for simple things, but Darktable won't work (no image support), Blender won't work (just too complex lol)…

my casual user opinion: I HATE ALL the special compute-specific GPU APIs. I don't want a special fancy kernel driver that loads everything differently, I don't like OpenCL and other unusual special garbage. Please please please just use Vulkan compute shaders for everything.
