I can’t figure out how to get CUDA working in distrobox for ai tasks like stable diffusion. I have an NVIDIA 3060 and i’m running nixos unstable.

When I create an container with the --nvidia flag in distrobox and enter it , it says the nvidia integration is loaded ok, but there’s no cuda suppprt in the container. What’s wrong?
