Hi, please forgive a naive question after only searching for “cuda” in the search field and finding nothing. Does anybody have working examples using flox in a python+cuda environment? While no expert, I use nix on a da…

I have the impression that flox develop retriggers some download/evaluation of packages, possibly to get the latest ones. Is there a way to avoid that in order to get a faster startup?
