Ryzen AI Software as AMD's collection of tools and libraries for AI inferencing on AMD Ryzen AI class PCs has Linux support with its newest point release. Though this "early access" Linux support is restricted to registered AMD customers.

Earlier this year we reported on AMD previewing a new Linux runtime stack for Ryzen AI NPUs and built off their AMDXDNA kernel accelerator driver.

With the newest Ryzen AI Software 1.6.1 point release the only noted change in the release notes is Linux support:

Yeah, they mention it. The XDNA NPU on all Ryzen chips since 2 years ago. It's had Linux support for some time.

I did some digging though, and this is indeed just talking about this being "new" for packaged stack, which is nice I guess. Probably not the best choice for devs, but for amateur users it'll put it on par with Windows.
