@maya_b @mntmn y'all don't wanna do an altra workstation, the pcie on those is totally busted which means gpu support is just bad and super unstable (source: i have an altra workstation and i maintain downstream kernel patches, https://github.com/chimera-linux/cports/blob/master/main/linux-stable/patches/9001-ampere-arm64-Add-a-fixup-handler-for-alignment-fault.patch and https://github.com/chimera-linux/cports/blob/master/main/linux-stable/patches/9002-ampere-arm64-Work-around-Ampere-Altra-erratum-82288-.patch ), the only gpus that work fairly reasonably (but not completely) are the intel ones and they will never fully work upstream without patches

this is not fixed until ampereone, and since it's a hardware bug you'd be shipping buggy hw forever
