Pytorch includes the necessary ROCm files for image gen as far as I know. My computer does have an /opt/ROCm folder but it’s only a few megabytes in size.
Unfortunately I don’t see any mention of pytorch in your linked program, and it does mention a proper ROCm install as a requirement there.
I probably can’t help, I have ROCM acceleration working on my desktop linux PC for image gen and LLMs, but I don’t think I had to install the massive rocm files for it to work.
What specifically are you trying to run using ROCM? If I remember right most of the stuff I tried just needed pytorch, which I would install in a python venv with pip3 install --pre torch torchvision torchaudio --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/nightly/rocm6.3 That’s still pretty heft though, my current venv is 16GB in size, but may include some duplicate/old files from repeated upgrades without cleaning.
Lemmy is a more technical crowd, but many deck owners don’t understand what proton is, or why they might need different versions.
Most software you don’t even have an option to easily use older versions, so choosing to downgrade proton for a specific game may be a unique experience for some.
So far most controller/mouse/keyboard dongles seem to still be usb-A, so I’m not super against that.
Honestly the deck is already pushing how big a handheld can be and still be portable/handheld. I don’t think I would want anything larger
True, but who needs CEC when you can instead have RGB?
/s
That would be really nice, I hate how most mouse/keyboard brands don’t offer Linux configuration software.
As far as I know, only the official dock supports CEC. If anyone knows of a different dock that supports it I hope they’ll let me know
Yeah that was my first thought as well for some reason. Obviously solar calculators/etc have been around for longer so that makes more sense, but I fully clicked on this hoping it was energy from key presses.
That’s the current setup for playing Geforce Now on steam deck/linux. The app announced in the news post will be a native app, not just kiosk chrome wrapper. They also mentioned it will support HDR which currently isn’t possible with the kiosk chrome wrapper.
The official app for it comes later this year.
That’s super cool. It took me a second to realize why the perspective felt so wrong, but once I realized what I was looking at I was amazed.
Windows charges different license fees depending on how powerful a device is. Gaming hardware will have a more expensive license fee than a lower power device.
Honestly when you have devices like the steam deck targeting $400 starting price, paying up to $100 for a windows key is pretty significant.
Here’s an article on it for anyone who prefers reading:
The windows version will be available this month for $730, with other versions (including a $600 version) coming in May. The SteamOS version is coming in May for $500. I’m guessing the $600 windows version and $500 SteamOS version are basically the same hardware specs.
It’s not my guide, so I can’t add anything unfortunately.
I was installing chrome on a work computer, and windows defender was automatically flagging the chrome installer (official, directly from google) as malware and deleting it automatically as soon as it was downloaded. It wasn’t blacklisted for very long, I was able to download it without issues the next day, but I always have wondered if that was something they were testing out on purpose or not.
I feel like Microsoft is way more shameless about their shady stuff. They’ve been messing around with impersonating google/chrome for awhile now, they recently had that thing where they would copy all your open chrome tabs, and then when you started your computer it would open edge with all your chrome tabs to trick people into using edge instead.
Yeah that would be it:
Previously, we were limited in how we could apply our 3rd-Party Tracker Loading Protection on Microsoft tracking scripts due to a policy requirement related to our use of Bing as a source for our private search results
I couldn’t remember the details exactly, but basically up until then they were allowing Microsoft tracking despite all their advertising claiming they wouldn’t track users.
Microsoft does so many scammy things when it comes to trying to prevent people from using Chrome/Google. Even though Edge/Bing hasn’t caught on, I really think them abusing windows dominate OS position this way should be enough for an antitrust lawsuit.
DDG was letting Bing track users. They may have stopped now that they got in trouble for it.

There are different pytorch install commands for cuda/ROCm. Usually the key to getting ROCm to work with AI GitHub projects is to edit a config file/launch option and replace the pytorch command with a ROCm one
