While K A L I is a penetration testing distribution and nearly every penetration testing tool is installed by default.
K A L I is neither easy to configure nor easy to use.
AMD recommend the use of Ubuntu, CentOS RHEL or SLES 15 Service Pack 2.
So you should try on of them first.
BTW:
You mentioned NVIDA. Mostly NVIDIA drivers are working out of the box, but not in every case.
On my notebook, I'm running a RYZEN with integrated GPU and a GTX1650. It took me several hours, to let this combination work as expected (running Arch Linx).
I'll say, you assembled a special rig. In that case you can't expect, that a distribution like K A L I is working out of the box.
I have a long time experience with K a l i so I know how to use it and how temperamental it can be at times. I had a similar issue to this when i attempted to install Pyrit with cuda support and it involved playing around with the kernel and then I ended up having a similar issue where it would lockup when cryptsetup come up. But that was on an Nvidia machine so I am guessing it was an issue with the GPU stuff also.
Having The-Distribution-Which-Does-Not-Handle-OpenCL-Well (Kali) would help me a lot for work purposes but Like I can get away with other distros but one of the main features I like about The-Distribution-Which-Does-Not-Handle-OpenCL-Well (Kali) is how well its full disk encryption works by default during installation. I am at a point with Linux also where I expect nothing to work easy or out of the box due to my experience of it rarely happening and when it does its like christmas morning lol
But yeah I am keen to try and get The-Distribution-Which-Does-Not-Handle-OpenCL-Well (Kali) working well with my 6900xt and posting some good benches from hashcat to show others of the potential so it might help others you know?
Again dude thanks for your help!
