User achieves local ComfyUI install on Debian with updated ROCm/PyTorch

A user successfully installed ComfyUI locally on their Debian Testing machine, eliminating the need for a chroot environment. This involved updating their ROCm and PyTorch stack to the latest versions, specifically ROCm 10.1 and PyTorch 2.15 nightly. The user encountered an issue where PyTorch's build did not explicitly support their GPU architecture (gfx1031), but they were able to bypass this by using an environment variable override. AI

    I finally did it! ComfyUI is now running locally on my machine without any chroot. For a long time I had to run ROCm/PyTorch/ComfyUI inside an Ubuntu 22.04 chroot because getting the required ROCm/PyTorch stack working directly on my Debian Testing host was a pain. That setup had…
