Rocm is sensitive to matching kernel version to driver version to userspace version. Staying very much on the kernel version from a official release and using the corresponding driver is drastically more robust than optimistically mixing different components. In particular, rocm is released and tested as one large blob, and running that large blob on a slightly different kernel version can go very badly. Mixing things from GitHub with things from your package manager is also optimistic.

Imagine it as huge ball of code where cross version compatibility of pieces is totally untested.
