there is no full support for AMD APUs and GPUs in Debian Trixie or testing.

Hi I am Rupesh from India and I brought a new desktop pc with AMD ryzen 5500GT and Asus prime b450 motherboard. I installed Debian testing or Trixie successfully and everything is working fine except hardware acceleration is not present.

Actually I use my Linux system mainly for converting h264 .mp4 video files to av1 .mp4 video files using ffmpeg and libaom.

Gpu which is integrated into my ryzen zen3 APU plays an important role in converting or transcoding through amdgpu driver and AMF header files.

Everything is working fine in Debian Trixie or testing Linux except I see errors like the following during kernel package installation.
Other people don't work with ffmpeg and libaom and Linux but most of the time I work with them.

Another issue is rocm which is opencl from AMD is missing in Debian Trixie Linux.

Other linux distributions have proper support for amdgpu and AMF.

I think that Debian developer's have totally neglected support for AMD APUs and GPUs and they have not shown any interest on amdgpu.

Other people raised this issue in the current forums but some of you replied neglect those errors etc.,.

Kindly try to provide support for amdgpu and rocm atleast in future releases of Debian Linux.

Regards,
Rupesh.
