You have a couple of options to consider:
1. Install a modern Linux distribution on the bare metal, get https://github.com/NVIDIA/nvidia-docker and run the GPU-accelerated container https://github.com/Paperspace/fastai-docker
2. Try running the Ubuntu Hyper-V image provided by Canonical/Microsoft
P.S. I'm considering building a DL box based on Ryzen 2600 w/ GTX 1070Ti, so could you please share your experience with Ryzen and Linux.
