I see you're using a Nvidia GPU. Are you also running the NVIDIA driver? If so I'd be cautious. I've had multiple installs break when installing or updating the Nvidia driver. Otherwise, if you're using the open source driver then I'd say go for it.
- sp332 5y agoDo you need the proprietary graphics driver to do machine learning stuff?
- barelysapient 5y agoI haven't used my GPU for ML. But if its similar to gaming then the open source driver is substantially slower than the Nvidia driver. I ended up changing to an AMD card which has been rock solid and doesn't require custom drivers.
- goosedragons 5y agoIf you want CUDA yes. So pretty much as the alternatives that work with Nouveau are much less supported and used.
- moffkalast 5y agoYeah you need the CUDA toolkit which comes with it I think
- pizza234 5y agoSadly, one may need proprietary Nvidia drivers to do... anything. I had three nvidia cards, and at least two of them needed an installation ISO patched with the binary drivers, otherwise, they didn't start at all, or they would crash after a very short time.
