In case you're curious, I googled. It runs this thing called "DGX OS":
"DGX OS 6 Features
The following are the key features of DGX OS Release 6:
Based on Ubuntu 22.04 with the latest long-term Linux kernel version 5.15 for the recent hardware and security updates and updates to software packages, such as Python and GCC.
Includes the NVIDIA-optimized Linux kernel, which supports GPU Direct Storage (GDS) without additional patches.
Provides access to all NVIDIA GPU driver branches and CUDA toolkit versions.
Uses the Ubuntu OFED by default with the option to install NVIDIA OFED for additional features.
Supports Secure Boot (requires Ubuntu OFED).
Supports DGX H100/H200."

- angoragoats 2y agoIs this sarcasm, or is installing CUDA really a problem for most people? I use NixOS and set it up once a long time ago, and never have to think about it, even for new installs.
- throw5959 2y agoUnfortunately, most people still don't know Docker, much less NixOS.
- angoragoats 2y agoOkay, but I'm genuinely asking -- it can't be that bad on e.g. Ubuntu, right? Just install a package and you're done?
- schmookeeg 2y agoI think some problems arise when you use some 5 year old "install CUDA" blog instead of the official docs. You can get sent down some messy rabbit holes and dependency loops that way. Ask how I know :)
- lionkor 2y agoIf I buy one, do I get the Nvidia optimized kernel source under GPL?
