I installed the drivers from AMD's website, and ROCm.
~~What distro?~~
Teachable Momment Time:
- Installing drivers from websites blindly isn't great on consumer desktop Linux.
- Those sites are really meant for production/server/workstations.
- Nvidia drivers as an example, use the distro package manager instead.
- Some distros even have separate ISO images entirely.
- Or different/extra setup instructions/steps for Nvidia users entirely.
No need to install extra shit for AMD.
RHEL, Ubuntu and SLED are also technically the only supported distros for AMD Radeon™ Linux® Drivers / GPUPRO
.
Driver's are baked into Kernel+Mesa.
some distros.....
Tho some distros lag behind on Kernel+Mesa releases....like buntu....probably need to add some PPA
just to get recent versions lol.
Consider using a container for Blender instead:
Such as using a
Fedora
Distrobox:
distrobox create --name fedora --image ghcr.io/ublue-os/fedora-distrobox:latest
Then sudo dnf install blender rocm
inside the box.
You can easily export applications from your containers with BoxBuddy.
Tinkering with drivers on a host computer makes things worse oftentimes. Mucking up containers is much easier to fix.
Reasons why DacinchiBox uses rusticl
instead of ROCm
.
You could be doing all this with just a
ujust
command on Bazzite. 🙃
