Not having to install CUDA is a killer feature, looking forward to DGX OS

Is 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.

Unfortunately, most people still don't know Docker, much less NixOS.

Okay, but I'm genuinely asking -- it can't be that bad on e.g. Ubuntu, right? Just install a package and you're done?

I 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 :)
"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.

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."
