Which distro is working best for you on FW Desktop for local LLMs and other AI?

I use Arch Linux as OS and I have my AI stack (ComfyUI, llama.cpp, n8n, Open WebUI, Perplexica) running in Docker containers.

Desktop

ComfyUI

  • is based on an offical AMD ROCm Pytorch image with some additional parts (rocm/pytorch:rocm7.1.1_ubuntu24.04_py3.12_pytorch_release_2.9.1)
  • Z Image Turbo runs great
  • WAN 2.2 5B works but is slow, likely due to way to less compute power of the APU compared to big dGPUs
  • WAN 2.2 14B results in OOM, very likely a software issue on Pytorch/ROCm/… side

llama.cpp

n8n

Open WebUI

Perplexica

  • is the official image (itzcrazykns1337/perplexica:latest)
