    Why I eventually settled on Ubuntu. I did Red Hat 5 in the 90s, built a Linux From Scratch system, and daily drove Gentoo for a number of years. Got sick of solving NP-complete problems in Gentoo package management. Combine that with lots of documents saying “this is how it works in Ubuntu, and everywhere else you’ll have to figure it out for yourself”. I don’t have time for that shit.

    Hell, Ubuntu is more straightforward to get TensorFlow working with Nvidia GPUs than it is on Windows. Nobody uses TensorFlow on pure Windows; you want to use WSL. To do that, you have to setup a passthrough layer to give WSL direct access to the GPU. There have been like three ways to do that over the years, and if you hit the wrong instructions in Google, you’ll have to back out everything you did and make sure you start again clean. Which might mean a full reinstall. On Linux, you install the Nvidia drivers, install TensorFlow with the GPU flags, and you’re done.
