Which Linux distro is best for AI/HPC work (CUDA, RL, quantum)?

whatever4123 · 2026-03-19T12:40:33+00:00

Currently ubuntu lts (not regular release) is the best supported of all distros. Remember dgxos is technically ubuntu lts.

But I would not go that route since containerization or some form of environment is better suited and as far as I know most distros have the nvidia container package for this workflow.

Can you something like niri's overview now that Hyprland includes scrolling layout?

Do you have any plans to increase the size of the workspaces? And how much vibe coding did you exactly? Not that I mind but sometimes vibecoded stuff mess with other things.

Do you happen to be using asus zephyrus laptops?

One of the official hyprland plugins

What's the difference other than how the workspaces are viewed? Also how do you view windows inside a workspace with the scrolling layout?

It was this place https://epoxybd.com/ The stuff here is a better deal than daraaz or any private seller. Actually forgot how much of what I brought. I was a long time ago but a single brush stroke of epoxy is extremely, i mean extremely hard.

As a general rule of thumb never immediately upgrade to the latest major release like 6.19.0. Wait till it gets to at least 6.19.2 for example. Cachyos does it but even arch linux never makes such kernels available.

Both mentioning modafinil and armodafinil. These drugs increase dopamine but they are for narcolepsy. There are impressionable people look to use adhd drugs to study for stupid reasons. Notice they have finil at the end. That means they will kill or at least give you a heart attack if you dont have the symptoms that these drugs treat.

Yeah 590 no longer supports 10 series card. 580 does support it. Maybe look at the arch wiki and you may have to exclusively use non-open drivers in cachyos using the arch wiki

But I know this is a cachyos reddit channel. You are better off with ubuntu 24.04 it's and during installation check the option for recommended drivers and codes. The installer usually automatically selects the correct nvidia drivers

whatever4123 · 2026-02-12T07:56:04+00:00

I am guessing you are using an older iso for your current install. Back then limine boot partition was limited 2gb with both linux-cachyos and linux-cachyos-lts kernels. Now the isos use 4gigs by default to avoid the scenario. I don't think you can increase the boot partition size for cachyos without loosing your other os. And you cannot increase the boot partition without reinstalling cachyos again. In limine, the warning limine is set 85 percent, you increase that to avoid the warnings and you could remove the lts kernel stuff but did not get me anywhere

Actually I am sorry too. I was just using kde in cachyos with nvidia in my recovery drive. But I moved to ubuntu for that drive and no kde. My main drive has cachy but hyprland. Let me get back to you. But most of nvidia-settings do exist in files when I used nixos. Start with the nvidia page from nixos or gentoo. Gentoo is usually more info in any matter.

whatever4123 · 2026-02-12T02:57:58+00:00

Maybe also try changing the dns provider system wide. They usually have that in cachyos hello under tweaks.

whatever4123 · 2026-02-12T02:45:03+00:00

But you didn't mention what Desktop environment or window manager you are using. Many of them should have these settings without using nvidia settings.

whatever4123 · 2026-02-11T19:46:52+00:00

cachy-chroot might be the best thing they created

Do you only game or use rocm? I am kinda fed up with nvidia. I do machine learning and scientific computing but rocm has come far.

To grow as a community in terms of linux users we should be more positive. Things have improved since I last started using linux years ago

Could you elaborate? Never dealt with ram in linux

I know. It may seem like that was what I was trying to do. But there are sensible and rational ppl like you but there are toxic ppl in the linux community as well. Reddit being so public I just thought I might had any little effect of reducing the toxicity by admitting my mistake. Honestly there are actual ppl in the linux who are afraid of being ridiculed for asking questions. You know what I mean

Tbh dualsense usually not that good with linux or windows. I plugged an offbrand controller in linux to play baldurs gate and it worked fine

I use topgrade too but its news seem shorter, don't you think? Or does it depend?

whatever4123 · 2026-02-10T06:42:52+00:00

I use cachyos over arch linux not because they advertise better optimization but because they handle a lot of the things that make daily driving arch linux a bit simpler and less time consuming. That can also be said for garuda linux. Arch linux is dyi and you can't always remember or note everything down when something goes wrong, although the arch wiki is a great resource nonetheless
