Anything that does not live in AMD's ecosystem manages to avoid suckage. The AMD linux drivers are fine because Linus would not let them get away with the sort of shit they have to be doing in their internal repos. As geohot memorably noted, "this will generate dead loop." If their commit messages are like that in Linux, what is their code like when nobody is looking? The ROCM drivers are shit. They somehow manage to get an enormous edifice of effort 99% working, then they bungle their package repository. Repeatedly. AMD have a tremendous ability to shoot themselves in the foot five feet from the end of the race, and the thing is, at this point you have to anticipate it. They have the capability to succeed, but not the temperament.
