Yeah, sadly AMD seems to not be making much investment into the Arm ecosystem, whereas Nvidia's proprietary drivers have been built for and tested on multiple Arm systems (likely due to Nvidia building their own Arm silicon for years now).
There aren't many changes required to get some amount of AMD GPU support going in Linux on modern Arm systems, but I'd still consider support 'experimental' there.
- Fnoord 3y agoI was about to comment this fellow Jeff Geerling ran these PCIe GPUs on RPis but then I figured you're that fellow. I think there's also some ARM Mac machines running on AMD GPUs. Though default models use Apple's stuff. Btw, very interesting comments my comment sparked, thanks!

I don't believe any non-Intel Macs, including the new Mac Pro, support external GPUs: https://appleinsider.com/articles/23/06/05/apple-silicon-mac-pro-does-not-support-pci-e-radeon-video-cards https://appleinsider.com/articles/23/06/05/apple-silicon-mac...

Mac Pro I don't know, but its actually the Intel Macs which eGPU which are supported (with older macOS versions) and not Apple Silicon Macs [1] [1] https://egpu.io/forums/mac-setup/definitive-macos-thunderbolt-egfx-compatibility-registry-faq/ https://egpu.io/forums/mac-setup/definitive-macos-thunderbol...
