Leaving FreeBSD with broken heart

Can FreeBSD not use CUDA for compute at all with NVIDIA GPUs today?

FreeBSD might have been pretty cool back with GPU coin mining (or at least when I was into it :p); lighter in-general and better CPU perf at the base OS would sound appealing for quick set-ups.
 
Why are we over 50 posts in this thread? OP decides FreeBSD doesn't work for them, ok fine. Don't use it. Why be dramatic about "leaving FreeBSD".

I've never understood threads like this. If one decides that a Ford automobile does not meet their needs, does one announce "I'm leaving Ford for Chevy?" No, you just go buy a new car.

I can as well say that I left all other car brands for BMW :P

As mentioned in this thread, the right combination of FreeBSD drivers and Linux libs makes you able to run Linux CUDA binaries in the Linuxulator.

Building CUDA programs in the Linuxulator is probably no problem.

This is why (even though I myself don't use it, just installed for confirmation) I'm keeping x11/linux-nvidia-libs* in sync with corresponding x11/nvidia-driver* when filing PR / opening review for upgrading x11/nvidia-driver*, in conjunction with graphics/nvidia-drm*-kmod*, x11/nvidia-settings and x11/nvidia-xconfig.
 
To only cuda-nvidia i could get to work was debian-tensorflow.
Or some freebsd-ollama models.
Strange everything other failes.
scikit-learn, or torch not able to nvidia-cuda to work on any o.s.
