You have a couple of options to consider: 1. Install a modern Linux distribution on the bare metal, get https://github.com/NVIDIA/nvidia-docker and run the GPU-accelerated container https://github.com/Paperspace/fastai-docker 2. Try running the Ubuntu Hyper-V image provided by Canonical/Microsoft

P.S. I'm considering building a DL box based on Ryzen 2600 w/ GTX 1070Ti, so could you please share your experience with Ryzen and Linux.

My DL box has a Ryzen 1800x and a GTX 1080ti running Ubuntu 18.04. The Ryzen has given me very few issues, Nvidia gave me some setup issues, but now that it's all configured its rock solid.

A Hyper-V image would be great if it can take advantage of the GPU and not cause driver issues. Didn't know they had one for DL. Or is it just pure Ubuntu you mean?
