Greetings programs! While we were enabling Nvidia for Bluefin LTS we decided that instead of making an nvidia version for each of these that we would instead focus on just adding Nvidia to the developer experience(dx) image. This is basically a Bluefin LTS image with nvidia and cuda…

Is this the same as bluefin-dx-nvidia but based on CentOS instead of Fedora? Or are there more differences. If it’s the former, could you explain the advantage of each? As I understand with Fedora (gts) nothing can go wrong because the base image is always clean and you can’t end up with a broken o…

Is the EPEL repository automatically enabled in this, or do we need to enable it manually?

We use EPEL to make this, it’s off by default (we do this for most repos). Also some more updates: We’ve added ramalama: AI and Machine Learning | Bluefin And uv is now on the image.

Since Bazzite also use GDX which is supposed to mean “Game Developer Xperience” there (as opposed to Bazzite DX which just adds stuff from Aurora DX to Bazzite as well) and is otherwise not LTS (not that Bazzite even has a GTS). Which make sense, but I don’t reall…

bluefin-cuda-lts would be clear.

[image] Clarifications around Bluefin LTS Bluefin One of the reasons we’ve been very careful about our commitments around Bluefin LTS is due to the nature of the role it has to fill. Therefore we’re pretty shy about calling it ready even though for all intents and purposes…
