Are you just recommending that they stay away from GPU processing while they learn or as a blanket suggestion? There are tons of images provided by Nvidia and framework/library authors that have the necessary drivers built in and make it trivial to run on a GPU.

Oh no, only while learning.

It all boil downs to that step 0, makes sure you have that "docker compatible" device. People are successfully running GPU processes using docker. However, docker is not "run everything, everywhere" as some people may think it is.

Really understanding the idea of containerization is fundamental. If someone tries to dabble in GPU processing in their first or second week of learning docker, they will be surprised how difficult troubleshooting docker is.

100% with you on that. There’s some many unintuitive things about just getting a container running if you’re doing anything beyond the hello world example!
