It's multiple pieces of tech (CUDA, pytorch, numpy, a multitude of python libs) that have dependency/interdependency, and then your image gen software (comfyui for example) will have stricter requirements, and sometimes only a few releases are valid.

It really is a house of cards of FOSS tech, but in a way it's great, since it functions as a powerful pleb filter for those that can't help themselves or ask polite and poingent questions to learn. In a past life I was a 3D printing mogul, and I've seen the same thing in the space - let me inb4 though, there are some places that still have high IQ individuals doing really awesome stuff - but with the advent of easy to deploy machines (prusa, ender, and especially Bambu) it's ushered in an era of midwits, jeets, kids, and retards that just shit up the environment... And on to the next niche thing I go.

Have a slime pool girl as consolation for reading my life story.
