Why wouldn't it be?

  Because most real-world CUDA research happens on Linux with Python and Jupyter?

    Most end-users are on Windows, however.

      That may not be the case for much longer. The press release on their final financial report from last year: https://nvidianews.nvidia.com/news/nvidia-announces-financial-results-for-fourth-quarter-and-fiscal-2021 https://nvidianews.nvidia.com/news/nvidia-announces-financia... Data center revenue at $6.7 billion. Gaming at $7.7 billion. But data center grew 124%, gaming 41%. If that keeps up, data center passes gaming this year.

        I don't think data centers count as end users. End users are human beings that use a system.

          That doesn't make any sense to me. Human ML/AI researchers are also users and NVIDIA clearly intentionally targets them as a market segment. They don't only care about pleasing gamers running Windows.

            in the context of a desktop app, it seems pretty clear 'alphachloride was referring to desktop users. how is the existence of big datacenters relevant to what platforms nvidia will support for a desktop app?

    and most artists who utilize CUDA use Windows.

  The entire deep learning / AI industry relies on running GPU compute on Linux, mostly CUDA on Nvidia GPUs.
