ROCm in-box support at Computex 2025



Hi folks,

At Computex 2025, AMD announced its intentions to 'in-box' the ROCm stack by integrating it into a number of Linux distributions, including Fedora, EPEL, SUSE, and Ubuntu [1]. While Debian is not on this list, I expect that the work done for Ubuntu will be quite beneficial for the Debian effort. The packaging work for ROCm in-box on Ubuntu builds upon the packaging work done for ROCm in-box on Debian, and will feed back into Debian as well.

Obviously, in places where Debian and Ubuntu policies or design opinions differ, there may be differences between the Debian and Ubuntu packages. However, we are hoping to minimize those differences. The primary focus of these efforts over the upcoming months will be on updating the ROCm stack to enable newer AMD GPU hardware (RDNA 3.5 / RDNA 4) and completing the pytorch-rocm packaging.

I'm sure everyone's aware that more resources are required to bridge the gap from where we are to where we need to be. That's still a work-in-progress, but I'll follow up once I have details to share.

Sincerely,
Cory Bloor
