Feature Request: First Boot Greeter - AMD ROCm Drivers Installation Prompt #237

Open mateowoetam opened 6 months ago

mateowoetam commented 6 months ago

Feature Request Summary:

Propose adding a prompt in the initial boot greeter for users to express their preference for installing AMD's ROCm Drivers. Similar to the existing Nvidia prompt, this feature enhances user experience by providing a convenient way to customize the initial system setup.

Details:

Include an additional prompt during the first boot process, allowing users to choose whether to install AMD's ROCm Drivers. This benefits users relying on AMD GPUs and wanting to utilize the ROCm platform. The prompt includes a brief description of ROCm Drivers, with the option to install or skip based on the user's preference.

Benefits:

Hip drivers are also something I would like due to it being needed by programs like Blender for GPU rendering
