AMD has ROCm which tries to get close. I’ve been able to get some CUDA applications running on a 6700xt, although they are noticeably slower than running on a comparable NVidia card. Maybe we’ll see more projects adding native ROCm support now that AMD is trying to cater to the enterprise market.
We have shoddy repair places here in the US too, but that’s no reason to make people to hunt for some region-specific community for their hardware questions.
