You can use macs for most toy problems in university too, but otherwise yeah...

Yes I have a few Macs and do that all the time! …Really I was replying In the context of the OP post however…. setting up a new system for DL.

Thanks, I hadn’t seen that implementation, I ran some deep learning models on TensorFlow adapted for iMac GPU, but it was less stable and significantly slower than the Nvidia Linux/Windows equivalents. Things have moved on I guess.

Okay cool. I will try this out.

Person is asking for casual non-professional, so maybe good enough? But I agree, pure Linux is better.

> Windows + WSL with Ubuntu is great
I wouldn't call it "great".
It's very fragile environment compared to running Linux as the host OS. At work our Linux machines have uptimes measure in years, running many jobs 24x7.
It's lucky if my co-worker's GPU-accelerated WSL environments survive a few days.
I much prefer running Linux as the host and Windows in a VM for the rare occasions I need it.

Its only the kernel. If you want GUI I believe you have to go for virtualization

Yes it does. Confirmed for nnUnet and Docker also where the GPU follow, i.e WSL-Ubuntu-Docker-GPU

Yeah.. Instead of a no for running on Windows, it would be more likely a no for AMD / Intel GPU. I wonder if there’s any actual working data science shop running on AMD?

I've used Windows for a few years. I've had bugs and issues that would never get resolved but all in all it's not a big deal. Tensorflow + C++ + Windows was a nightmare but now I use pytorch->onnx and run onnxruntime in c++ and have no problems.
Haven't tried wsl. I have it setup and I use it to test builds because we are switching to linux at least on the production side so our code compiles for both windows and Linux.

DL methods are usually using anaconda environments. It should not matter much which os are using as long as you have cuda installed

Actually you can run GUI applications from WSL by installing a windows version of xserv and doing little config within WSL. Check out this guide if you're interested

You don't, it's essentially access to a Linux 'server' OS that lives in your Windows installation.
You can ssh into it and do almost everything you normally would, except GUIs (QT, KDE, Gnome ...etc)

It has a super intuitive and short installation, you just need to select the desired drive and keep pressing next. You can check installation instructions on YouTube too.

Is there a gui for Pop OS or it’s all thru terminal ?

How do you install the Ubuntu GUI under WSL 2?
Syzygianinfern0 t1_ixsyeat wrote
You would want to try out Pop OS over Ubuntu for the Linux distro to run on your PC. It makes installation of GPU drivers super easy. Infact you don't even need to do anything. Just select the Nvidia ISO and you should be good to go right after installation!

I have not had any problems getting tensorflow to run on windows and utilize my Nvidia gpu. I watched some YT video to get everything setup and the big thing was making sure the versions of all the components were compatible. I’ve also converted my models to onnx and completed inference on windows and Linux (VPS)

Yes but WSL is now good enough most of the time, so long as you don't need every last megabyte of VRAM. I'd start with Windows and WSL, and then move to dual boot if you find you need it.

Does anyone actually use windows on your servers? hows the experience so far?
z3n777 t1_ixsidqn wrote
For research and small projects windows might be bearable, for anything more serious big no
Running VMS / wsl on windows also big no, it's a terrible workaround and completely inefficient, not counting the amount of time to set it up

I got TensorFlow 2.0 to work first time on my personal machine on Windows 11 a year ago. I think it has come a long way from before. I just downloaded the latest version of Tensorflow, which was 2.8 at the time, and the CUDA drivers that went with that version, and it all worked nicely.
