We have installed ROCm on vanilla Ubuntu 18.04. Though I use the libraries through Nix with the nixos-rocm repo: https://github.com/nixos-rocm/nixos-rocm https://github.com/nixos-rocm/nixos-rocm The last time we purchased GPUs, we bought two Radeon VIIs besides RTX 5000s. For training transformers in Tensorflow and PyTorch, they were a steal, because the training is only marginally slower than the RTXes at a fraction of the price. For LSTMs, we have found performance regressions compared to NVIDIA, but it's largely because it was hard to hit the optimized MIOpen code paths.
