no, pretty much the stock Gentoo kernel.

Yeah, you definitely need firmware. Even my pretty old RX 460 needs
it to do 3D accelleration and OpenCL/Vulkan.

Sure, it might work if you use a nonguix[1] kernel plus firmware – unless
your GPU needs a newer ROCm. In that case we have to figure out how to
upgrade ROCm itself, which is always a little tricky.
