ROCm has come a long way but still has a long way to go. It still doesn't support the 5700 XT (or at least, not very well) --- only the Radeon Instinct and Vega are supported. You can find salty GitHub threads about this dating to the very start of when Navi was just released: https://github.com/RadeonOpenCompute/ROCm/issues/887#issueco...

And getting ROCm set up is still a buggy experience with tons of fiddling in the deep inner workings of Linux so it is nearly impossible for the average machine learning engineer to use.

It is compelling for certain bespoke projects like Europe's shiny new supercomputer, but for the vast majority of machine learning, it is totally unusable. By now in ML world the word "gpu" is synonymous with "nvidia".
