I don't mean to be rude by copy/pasting the same answer I gave you last time you asked this, but without any effort on your part to flesh out your question with relevant information, engage with those trying to help you, or actually
try things to familiarize yourself with the technologies at hand, I'm at a loss as to how to provide you better assistance.
If I understand you correctly, you're (again) asking if Bedrock can help you get a set of nVidia/ML features from Ubuntu 18.04 and other features from other distros. You (again) went into some detail about the nVidia/ML features you want from Ubuntu 18.04, but you (still) did not explain what features you were interested in getting from other distros. Without knowing those, it's hard to give you a definitive answer.
As documented
here, Bedrock cannot make libraries work across distros. You can have both 18.04 libraries and 21.04 libraries installed at the same time, in which case 18.04 programs can link to 18.04 libraries and 21.04 programs can link to 21.04 libraries. However, Bedrock cannot make 21.04 programs link to 18.04 libraries or 18.04 programs link to 21.04 libraries. Bedrock still might be able to help, though, if you flip things around: keep the libraries separate, but make everything
else work across distros. For example, Jetpack could link against 18.04 but run in a desktop environment from 21.04 (or some other distro).
The main catch here is that, if you are running proprietary nVidia drivers on Bedrock, every Bedrock stratum which does anything related to graphics cards needs to have the same version of the proprietary nVidia driver installed. Provided
the official nVidia driver installer works for your 18.04 ML needs,
you can resolve this limitation by just installing the proprietary nVidia driver multiple times.
Provided you have time to experiment, my recommendation is to:
- Install Bedrock in a non-production environment (e.g. a VM or a spare machine) just to mess with and familiarize yourself with it. If you run `brl tutorial basics` it will provide an interactive tutorial that covers the basic usage that has generally been well received. After going through the tutorial, try to get parts of the test Bedrock install from 18.04 and part from whatever other distros you're interested in. For example, try to get 18.04's kernel and some other distro's DM. Make sure to reference the documentation
here.
-
Provided (1) the official nVidia proprietary driver installer is adequate here and (2) experimentation described above works out, back up your Jetson nano then install Bedrock on it and give it a try.
