The issues with f*ng console commands is that they fail, too often.

After installing CUDA 11.7 and reinstalling torch I'm still facing:

> AssertionError: Torch not compiled with CUDA enabled

I totally understand the frustration. Hop on the Conda train and don't look back. There is no performance penalty from using Conda for the boring stuff. The only thing it will cost you is more disk space. Otherwise, its an absolute joy to use. You know where everything is if you want to inspect packages, bin files, wheels, etc. It seems like chasing your tail when you install these things from apt, git, curl, pip and brew/choco. To me, I want to see where everything has come from and where it is going on my system. Conda gives me that in spades.
