Dear NVIDIA, I am extremely disappointed with the current state of DGX Spark. This product was presented as a premium Blackwell platform with FP4, NVFP4, strong local AI capabilities, and a mature software experience. In reality, the experience has felt far less polished and far less complete than…

I’ve had nothing but headaches with this device. From.the lack of software to the baby Linux distro installed. Why does it come with a full gnome and gnome keychain but designed to be a devkit???

Good luck disabling the GUI on Mac OS

Not applicable, my studio was returned for this spark 😂

I couldn’t agree more! Commodore64 for me, but I’m with ya on those “IBM Compatible” machines. I find this kind of struggle refreshing. I went into the purchase (I went straight with the NVidia branded one) knowing this was a lab/developer device and not a consumer device. I was actually surprised …
