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.

AMD GPU driver with opencl support? (sh.itjust.works)

Basically title. I have a 7600(x)(t) 8G. I want drivers with opencl for hashcat. I know the proprietary ones work, but they are a ludicrously massive PITA. I am willing to use almost any distro to make this work (not Ubuntu, and not one of those random newer ones). I really hope I don't have to use the proprietary drivers.

Edit: found a good enough solution. I listed the card on ebay and will replace it with an intel arc soon.

Try using rusticl for your OpenCL implementation. It runs OpenCL on top of Vulkan, which is very well supported by Radeon cards.

I second rusticl, but I'd like to note that it uses Gallium internally, and not Vulkan. There is a vulkan-gallium translation layer called Zink, though, which can be used to run rusticl on any Vulkan-capable GPU AFAIK. Zink is initially made to run OpenGL on Vulkan, but it's also just a general-purpose Gallium driver.

Second this. rusticl worked perfectly for me when I needed to get OpenCL working with my 6600XT.
