From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

3 months isn't bad though. Especially since it's going to be locked out of changes so in 5 years it will be 5 years and 3 months out of date. The bigger problem with rocm is that they cut off older cards way too soon.
I bought a radeon pro vii brand new from a shop (granted it was a runout sale) and it was already cut off. It still works but not supported.
AMD can't keep complaining everyone focuses on CUDA when they don't even bother to support their own product. It supports very few cards and they get cut off way too soon.
Nvidia supports even midrange consumer cards and they keep supporting them a long time.
Support for older cards is getting more common. Some of them are working but not officially supported but I've seen more cards entering support than leaving
