the problem is that you still need to install all the low level stuff manually, conda does it automatically

I was pleasantly surprised to try the guide out and see that it just worked:

    λ uv venv && uv pip install torch --torch-backend=auto
    λ uv run python -c 'import torch; print(torch.cuda.is_available())'
    True
This is on Debian stable, and I don't remember doing any special setup other than installing the proprietary nvidia driver.

This script has been sufficient for me to configure gpu drivers on fresh ubuntu machines. It's just uv add torch after this.
