Documented installation for 9070XT on WSL2 (Win10, Ubuntu-22.04)

This comes with the assumption that you already know how to setup WSL2.

Support for VPN (Necessary if you use a VPN)

sudo rm /etc/resolv.conf
sudo bash -c 'echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" > /etc/resolv.conf'
sudo bash -c 'echo "[network]" > /etc/wsl.conf'
sudo bash -c 'echo "generateResolvConf = false" >> /etc/wsl.conf'
sudo chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf

Update system

sudo apt update

Install ROCm (Ubuntu-22.04)

Warning

This is a legacy guide, AMD has switched to recommend ROCDXG, however I could not get that to work yet.
If you wish to read the up-to-date guide, go to: https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/radeon-ryzen/en/latest/docs/install/installrad/wsl/howto_wsl.html

https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/radeon-ryzen/en/docs-7.2/docs/install/installrad/wsl/install-radeon.html

cd ~
wget https://repo.radeon.com/amdgpu-install/7.2/ubuntu/jammy/amdgpu-install_7.2.70200-1_all.deb
sudo apt install ./amdgpu-install_7.2.70200-1_all.deb

Check if installation is succesful

sudo amdgpu-install --list-usecase

Install ROCm and WSL2 support

amdgpu-install -y --usecase=wsl,rocm --no-dkms

Again check if installation is succesful
