Not having to install CUDA is a killer feature, looking forward to DGX OS

Is this sarcasm, or is installing CUDA really a problem for most people? I use NixOS and set it up once a long time ago, and never have to think about it, even for new installs.
Unfortunately, most people still don't know Docker, much less NixOS.
Okay, but I'm genuinely asking -- it can't be that bad on e.g. Ubuntu, right? Just install a package and you're done?
I think some problems arise when you use some 5 year old "install CUDA" blog instead of the official docs. You can get sent down some messy rabbit holes and dependency loops that way. Ask how I know :)
