Introduction

In this post, I will provide the solution that worked on my system on how to install Radeon Open Compute (ROCm) on Arch (linux-6.6.7.arch1-1) for RX 6900 XT (Should work on other 6000 series). ROCm is an open-source software platform that allows GPU-accelerated computation. This tool is a prerequist to use GPU Acceleration on TensorFlow or PyTorch. In this guide I will use Paru as my AUR package helper, feel free to use any other (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AUR_helpers). I will assume you have a working operating system and know what you do with it (Otherwise Arch will be painfull for you).
