I know AMD has a whole bunch of (related?) projects for GPU compute, but man - if they could just provide an interop layer that Just Works they'd get immediate access to so much more market share.

To make it even more insulting, even simply installing ROCm itself is a massive burden, even on an ostensibly-supported (as geohot discovered) and even just “it works out of the box if you distribute and compile it locally” is ignoring that whole massive “draw the rest of the owl” stage of getting ROCm installed and building properly in your environment.
Even a source-compatible layer that let you just recompile CUDA code for an AMD GPU would be a huge improvement. That alone would eliminate the CUDA lock-in.
I have enough issues using graphics already so I'll stick with Mesa.
But it currently only runs on CDNA boards and enterprise-y Linux distros (Ubuntu LTS, Centos, etc.)
