My 6700xt works pretty well with nixos, arch, Debian and Ubuntu. Can’t seem to get comfyui to recognize it, but ollama and lama.ccp use it just fine. Just cause it’s not supported doesn’t mean it won’t work. I have an instinct mi25 that I flashed to a wx9100, per this. About 6 months ago, was working great on Debian 12, Ubuntu 20 and 22, nixos and arch. Now, can’t even get it to work on Ubuntu 20 using rocm 5.4. Super sad I can’t leverage the extra vram.

I ran a Debian nas with cockpit as the interface for a bit. Eventually stopped using cockpit and did most of what I needed from the terminal, just easier and quicker. Only used it for nfs shares, but you can use docker or podman no problem. The great thing about Debian is that it is barebones and easy to add exactly what you need and nothing else. There is nothing special you need to do other than install and set up the disk sharing of your choice. There are specific and special was to set certain things up, like zfs, but everything is usually well documented.

Do you have an old raspberry pi or laptop? Netbootxyz will run on a potato with ethernet.

I have NetBoot.xyz on my network for ipxe booting. They have memtest as a boot image, ran that for a few days. I don’t remember if it found the stick that was bad or if I just started pulling and booting and process of elimination.

Have you made sure your ram modules are all good? Was getting funky behavior with truenas in a proxmox vm, come to find out one of my 32gb sticks was bad. Removed the stick, no funky behavior. Replaced with a different stick, been solid since, maybe a year and a half on now.

I thought you just got thigh highs….

It states here that the 9300 is quicksync enabled, so should have no problem with nvec @4k. How many streams? I don’t know that one.

Everyone is mentioning nvidia, but amds rocm has improved tremendously in the last few years, making a 6900xt 16gb an attractive option for me. I currently have a 6700xt 12gb that works no problem with ollama and comfyui, and an instinct mi25 16gb that works with some fiddling as well. From what I understand, an mi50 32gb requires less fiddling. However the instinct line is passively cooled, so finding a way to cool it might be a reason to stay away from them.

Edit: I should add, my experience is on a few Linux distributions, I can not attest to the experience on windows.

Almost everything I have runs Debian or NixOS, so……… once a month? Except for VMs I’m playing around with, which usually get updated every time I log into them, or instal stuff.

Yet they are having trouble hiring people, they are all too fat to pass the basic fitness test.
