Introduction

In this post, I will provide the setup that makes the most sense on Arch Linux today to install NVIDIA CUDA for a GeForce RTX and newer NVIDIA GPUs. On current Arch, you can install everything you need from the official repositories, so AUR access is not required for the main CUDA setup.

CUDA is NVIDIA GPU computing platform. If you want GPU acceleration for workloads such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, or custom CUDA code, this is the stack you need. NVIDIA CUDA installation docs still focus on officially qualified distros, while TensorFlow explicitly says its Linux GPU instructions officially target Ubuntu and may also work on other distros. This guide is therefore an Arch-oriented practical guide using the current Arch packages and the official framework install methods.

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- 6.19.11.arch1-1) for RX 6900 XT (Should work on other 6000 series and more recent). 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.
