AMD May Get Across the CUDA Moat

I never had an issue with nVidia drivers on Linux in the past 5 years, but recently bought a laptop with a 4090 and AMD CPU. Now I get random freezes, often right after I login into Cinnamon but can't really tell if it's the nVidia driver for 4090, AMDGPU driver for integrated RDNA, kernel 6.2 or Cinnamon issue. The laptop just hangs and stops responding to keyboard so I can't login to console and dmesg it.

The main issue with Nvidia on Linux AIUI is that they don't release the source code for their drivers.

That might be a philosophical problem that never prevented me from training models on Linux. The half-baked half-crashing AMD solutions just lead to wasting time I can spend on ML research instead.

I literally gave away my last laptop with a discrete nVidia card because it wasted so much of my time.
