Yes.
Unfortunately I went though the debugging process before I got to the
paragraph. On the upside I think I got a lightning talk out of it, that
I'll try to present at the next meeting.

In January I saw cheap Radeo RX 580s on Kijiji too. I haven't looked
recently.
One advantage of AMD over nvidia is that larger memories are more common.
It's a shame about ROCm's lack of APU support. Parts of it are there.
<https://rocm.github.io/hardware.html>
The iGPU in AMD APUs
The following APUs are not fully supported by the ROCm stack.
“Carrizo” and “Bristol Ridge” APUs
“Raven Ridge” APUs
These APUs are enabled in the upstream Linux kernel drivers and the
ROCm Thunk. Support for these APUs is enabled in the ROCm OpenCL
runtime. However, support for them is not enabled in our HCC compiler,
HIP, or the ROCm libraries. In addition, because ROCm is currently
focused on discrete GPUs, AMD does not make any claims of continued
support in the ROCm stack for these integrated GPUs.
In addition, these APUs may may not work due to OEM and ODM choices
when it comes to key configurations parameters such as inclusion of
the required CRAT tables and IOMMU configuration parameters in the
system BIOS. As such, APU-based laptops, all-in-one systems, and
desktop motherboards may not be properly detected by the ROCm drivers.
You should check with your system vendor to see if these options are
available before attempting to use an APU-based system with ROCm.
