Ok, update. I removed some improper repos that the amdgpu-install had installed and I got things mostly working. Only problem is that rendering in Blender on GPU crashes it and I can’t seem to get good logs for the problem. I will try to get some logs and post them here.

I just realized this myself as well and posted it into an another comment. Should have replied here instead. But now the only problem is Blender crashing.

This is all the logs I seem to get. The logs before the cat command are from running Blender.

So, see the other comment for the dnf message when installing amdgpu-core. Everything else except amdgpu-core gets installed properly. The error says ERROR: This package can only be installed on EL8. Which makes no sense.

Well, I figured that out. But the problem is now my drivers are kind of broken. The error you are seeing in the log is what is not letting me download the drivers.

Here's also the dnf log:

Also, if I basically remove everything, I will get this error:

For not that performance intensive stuff I would use clang though.

I'm a gcc user partly because of the optimization. I mean it's a pretty small difference. But still for scientific stuff gcc is slightly better I think. There's not much difference though and it basically comes to personal preference.

Is it actually something usable? I don't know of many active users of it.

Phone flashlights are optimized for photos. They don't shine very bright for example. You need to see even a good 30€ flashlight. Super bright compared to that. Also if you are in a situation that means you need to have battery on your phone, using the flashlight drains it a lot. Also on some flashlights you can use as a powerbank. For someone living in a city, it's maybe not it but if you are even a bit remote or like to do hiking or something its super useful. Idk I probably have read too much r/flashlights. It's like collecting knives man.

Good flashlights. You can get a great one that's rechargeable and super bright for something like 30€. At the same price you can get a crappy one at your local hardware store which is the options most people choose.

Holy hell
