Do I get it right that this issue is within Windows? I've never heard of the issues you describe while working with Linux.. I've seen people struggle with MacOS a bit due to brew different versions of some library or the other, mostly self compiling Ruby.

There certainly are issues on Linux as well. The Detectron2 library alone has several hundred issues related to incorrect versions of something: https://github.com/facebookresearch/detectron2/issues

The mmdetection library (https://github.com/open-mmlab/mmdetection/issues) also has hundreds of version-related issues. Admittedly, that library has not seen any updates for over a year now, but it is sad that things just break and become basically unusable on modern Linux operating systems because NVIDIA can't stop breaking backwards and forwards compatibility for what is essentially just fancy matrix multiplication.

I had issues on Mac, Windows and Linux... It was obnoxious. It led me to adopt a very simple rule: if I cannot get your framework / programming language up and running in under 10 minutes (barring compilation time / download speeds) I am not going to use your tools / language. I shouldn't be struggling with the most basic of hello worlds with your language / framework. I don't in like 100% of the other languages I already use, why should I struggle to use a new language?

On Linux good luck if you're not using anything besides the officially nvidia-supported Ubuntu version. Just 24.04 instead of 22.04 has regular random breakages and issues, and running on archlinux is just endless pain.
