From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Nearly all such software support CUDA, (which up to now was Nvidia only) and some also support AMD through ROCm, DirectML, ONNX, or some other means, but CUDA is most common. This will open up more of those to users with AMD hardware.
Thanks that is what I was curious about. So good news!
