I use Fedora as my daily driver. Toolbox is built on top of Podman. It is mainly designed for use with immutable OS like Fedora Silverblue but can be used with other distributions. I use toolbox for most of my development, so I started setting up the development environment in it as outlined here.
However, getting Nvidia to work was much more complicated. Now, I am not a container expert, so a lot of it was because of my unfamiliarity with the technology. At first, I had to get nvidia-container-toolkit using CentOS package. The test containers given in the instructions here worked fine. However, I soon understood that nvidia-container-toolkit requires basing the image on nvidia official containers or going through this and figure out how to create a custom container. Most documentation online seemed to be about nvidia-docker or just covered the install portion of nvidia-container-toolkit. There was almost nothing available on how to create a custom image. After some digging around and copying and pasting (I still don't understand some of it), I was able to create a container with nvidia-smi, and other cuda commands working.
My current setup for KDE development is working quite well. The CLI tool is hosted here. I hope to finally start some work with KDE development now that everything seems to be working.
