Just wanted to confirm in the RD2 alpha on W11/WSL. Symlinks for the rdd and docker binaries (and other relevant ones) aren't automatically added to other WSL instances (yet) right?
Yea I think that's the case. So used to RD1 and developing from within wsl that I thought something was wrong with RD2.
I'm just being impatient 🙂

Yeah, RD2 the symlink stuff is all missing; I think there's a PR for that now, but I don't think that's merged yet.

yea I saw the PR for some of that. I'm going to test the PR build for the rocm support too when I get a chance, probably early next week. But I don't need the symlinks for that, just needed it on my daily driver. I've reverted back to 1 in the meantime though.
I had some issues with processes that weren't getting killed, but that's a known issue. One unnamed process from an installer hung around, and the rdd.exe doesn't end when RD is exited. but those can both be found by searching 
rdd
in task manager.

Yeah, the ROCm PR is a PoC for a specific device (with PoC-quality hacks), but it should get us towards general ROCm support. The possibility of such support is part of the reason for RDD2…
As for RDD not exiting, 
rdd service stop
should be able to shut it down gracefully. We haven't decided yet if we should stop RDD when the UI quits; I'm hoping we just end up making that a pref (not yet sure which side the default lands on though)

Was going to work on the rocm support myself with the driver updates from AMD a few weeks ago before Troy pointed the PR out to me today, happy timing. I'm also going to test my elemental image and registration flow and break more things of course.
For feedback on stopping RDD via UI: I appreciated the flow where it would stop if I chose file -> exit/quit, or taskbar icon -> exit/quit. If I only X or minimize the gui, keep it running.
