Yes, absolutely. Although to be fair, CUDA is a royal pain (although way easier) even on more standard distributions (supporting multiple versions seamlessly is hours and hours of fun and breaks all too easily) and is behind the great majority of time “wasted”. NVIDIA deserves a lot more flak for this than they receive.
- zetalemur 6y agoVery true. Part of the reason is probably that you need the proprietary drivers to use CUDA efficiently and as they are not in the (upstream) kernel you have to use some other tools, like unofficial repositories or the native installer (which doesn't always play well with the OS package manager, system upgrades, etc.). It's a real PITA.
