HIP Support

[bhibb]

Would it be possible for the Blender Flatpak to support HIP for newer AMD cards like it does for Optix for Nvidia? Blender 3.0 started support for HIP and it is available in the appimage from Blender.org directly; what would be required to get HIP working for the Flatpak version?

Hi all,

I made a proposal on freedesktop-sdk to get the ball rolling here:

Hello @boberfly, do you happen to have an idea on how the situation is be moving? I am not very familiar with GitLab so I didn't understand much from the link, if you could spare one minute of your time to give me your opinion I would be very glad. Thanks!

Looks like a milestone for AMD support was added to Freedesktop 24.08 milestone.
