How has software/driver support been? I got burned hard by AMD last generation or the one before. Things smoother now, or do you have to baby it like hell and pick and choose software that works?

I don't do anything fancier than inference, and I only use llama.cpp, which supports rOCM. I've had few issues; most GGUFs I download work right out of the box. Nearly any popular model has a quant that just works. But as you can see I don't use my GPU for anything weird or nonstandard.
