-====== Ubuntu - GPU - AMD GPU - Setup Radeon RX 7900 XTX ======
-The installer script method automates the installation process for the AMDGPU and ROCm stack. The installer script handles the complete installation process for ROCm, including setting up the repository, cleaning the system, updating, and installing the desired drivers and meta-packages.

-----
-===== Approach =====
-  - Update the system.
-  - Shutdown the system.
-  - Swap GPU card.
-  - Boot the system.
-    * This should work fine, since minimum support is via the kernel amdgpu.
-  - Optionally, purge Nvidia packages.
-  - Install Mesa.
-<WRAP info>
-**NOTE:**
-  * The NVIDIA packages can be kept, and will not cause any trouble but will just waste space.
-  * Mesa is the open source implementations of OpenGL and Vulkan that AMD GPU users typically use.
-</WRAP>

-===== Download & Install the AMD Installer Script =====
-<WRAP info>
-**NOTE:**  Check the latest version number of the Installer Script by checking the .deb file link from https://www.amd.com/en/support/linux-drivers.
-</WRAP>
-<code bash>
-sudo apt update
-wget https://repo.radeon.com/amdgpu-install/22.40.5/ubuntu/focal/amdgpu-install_5.4.50405-1_all.deb
-sudo apt install ./amdgpu-install_5.4.50405-1_all.deb
-</code>
-<WRAP info>
-**NOTE:**  Run the **amdgpu-install** script without any arguments, should be sufficient.
-Alternatively, try this:
-<code bash>
-amdgpu-install --usecase=graphics,opencl --vulkan=amdvlk --opencl=rocr
-</code>
-</WRAP>
-----
-===== Optionally, install fresh firmware files =====
-Grab the latest firmware from https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git.
-Drop these firmware files into /lib/firmware/amdgpu/ and rebuild any initramfs:
-<code bash>
-wget https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/snapshot/linux-firmware-20230515.tar.gz
-tar -xf linux-firmware-20230515.tar.gz
-sudo cp linux-firmware-20230515/amdgpu/* /lib/firmware/amdgpu/
-sudo update-initramfs -uk 'all'
-</code>
-<WRAP info>
-**NOTE:**  The latest firmware files should probably support these new GPUs.
-</WRAP>
-----
-===== Enable the AMD Kernel Module =====
-Ensure there is no modprobe blacklist for amdgpu by running the command:
-<code bash>
-sudo rm /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-amdgpu.conf
-</code>
-----
-===== Optionally Purge nvidia drivers =====
-Remove the Nvidia packages and any Nvidia related kernel arguments you might have (DRM Kernel Mode Setting or whatever).
-<WRAP info>
-**NOTE:**  The Nvidia drivers will not load if there is no Nvidia card installed.
-  * Leaving the NVIDIA stack installed ensures that it is ready if you ever need to switch to a backup GPU in a hurry.
-</WRAP>
-----
-===== Optionally Install Vulkin =====
-Install the AMD vulkan package to get vulkan support.
-----
-===== Install Mesa =====
-<code bash>
-sudo apt install mesa-utils
-</code>
-<WRAP info>
-**NOTE:** Mesa is the open source implementations of OpenGL and Vulkan that AMD GPU users typically use.
-</WRAP>
-----
-===== Check that the GPU is being picked up =====
-<code bash>
-glxinfo | grep OpenGL
-</code>
-returns:
-<code bash>
-</code>
-<WRAP info>
-**NOTE:** This should show useful info on the GPU.
-</WRAP>
-----
-===== Test the GPU =====
-<code bash>
-glxgears -info
-</code>
-<WRAP info>
-**NOTE:** This should show some gears spinning around, together with frames per second.
-</WRAP>
