If you just want to run models, most of TFA is taking the scenic route.

All you really need is podman, toolbx, and the Strix Halo toolbox images from https://github.com/kyuz0/amd-strix-halo-toolboxes. Then you just download your ggufs and hand them to llama-server.

Yes, there are other solutions that are a bit more hand-holdy, but if you already know how to use docker/podman and just want to get something working in an evening, this works too.
