    This is a deadend because we are not going to patch all
    POSIX and non-POSIX shell configs. Neither do we introduce weird
    scripts for the user to source.

    Not that I'd advocate it, but for some initial version, installation to /usr/lib/rocm/bin could be worked around by symlinks if changing this
    can't be changed easily/quickly.

    For example, from Firefox:

    $ readlink -e /usr/bin/firefox-esr
    /usr/lib/firefox-esr/firefox-esr

    Best,
