There is hope at least. Currently ROCm is pretty terrible.

    I believe Debian has official distro packages now. Arch, gentoo and NixOS certainly do, but they’re often a release or two behind. AMD only provides packages for the big corporate distros (Ubuntu, RHEL, SUSE), which I guess is fine. The odd one out is Fedora. There are official distro packages, but only for rocm-opencl, not for the whole stack. But ROCm is open source, so in the spirit of open source software, I believe distros should handle packaging duties. Only the distro maintainers know how they want to to compile, distribute and package the stack.
