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.

As a reminder, the same (closed-source) user-space components for OpenGL / OpenCL / Vulkan / CUDA are used regardless of the NVIDIA kernel driver option with their official driver stack.

CUDA hell remains. :(

it's breaking down. Pytorch supports ROCm now.

ROCm is it's own hell (unless they finally put some resources into it in the past couple years)

[–] Cornelius@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 months ago

They put in the absolute minimum amount of resources for it.

It's also littered with bugs as the ZLUDA project has noted
