I believe Debian has official distro packages now. Arch, gentoo and NixOS certainly do, but they're often a release or two behind. AMD only provides packages for the big corporate distros (Ubuntu, RHEL, SUSE), which I guess is fine. The odd one out is Fedora. There are official distro packages, but only for rocm-opencl, not for the whole stack. But ROCm is open source, so in the spirit of open source software, I believe distros should handle packaging duties. Only the distro maintainers know how they want to to compile, distribute and package the stack.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
