Interesting, but Rapids only works on: - Ubuntu 20.04/22.04 or CentOS 7 / Rocky Linux 8 with gcc/++ 9.0+ - Windows 11 using a WSL2 specific install - RHEL 7/8 support is provided through CentOS 7 / Rocky Linux 8 builds/installs https://docs.rapids.ai/install

[x] Windows 11 with WSL2, excellent.

Nice. RAPIDS with pandas is pretty fast so looking forward to what’s ahead.

..or merely tested and supported on?

Or that it just can't work with anything else?

Very cool! I hope the Rust crate gets to take advantage of this. It might just be me, but I feel like the Python package gets all the love from the Polars devs.

That's amazing. Hard to believe that Polars is only a 7 person company.

I'm using it on OpenSUSE and it seems to work fine (I doubt it would be hard to make it work on other unmentioned distros as well). MacOS is obviously irrelevant. Nvidia seems to release their drivers for FreeBSD and Solaris but how many people actually DS/ML on those?
