  • You should consider passing through your Nvidia GPU to a virtual machine in order to do compute tasks on; that way, your host machine won’t be infected with proprietary Nvidia drivers (I’m assuming you need CUDA for your compute tasks). The only performance differences you’ll notice is less available system RAM (you will have access to all of your VRAM), and very slightly less CPU performance, due to running two operating systems at the same time (barely even noticable, TBH). This is the option that I would personally recommend.

    If you want to try a super hacky solution which might not work for everything you need, you can try using the open source, recently released ZLUDA translation layer to perform CUDA tasks on your AMD GPU.

    The reason Hyprland doesn’t work with proprietary Nvidia drivers is due to Nvidia refusing to implement the accepted Wayland standard in favor of their own, home-rolled solution which is incompatible. AFAIK, only GNOME and KDE implement that standard.




  • The best thing about this reply is that literally none of those games are on my list, since I haven’t played any of them (except for a Flash clone of Worms as a kid). That just goes to show the sheer amount of quality gaming that there was.

    My list is moreso comprised of console games. In no particular order, and includes some later indie games:

    • Chrono Trigger (GOAT, ranked number 1 above all the rest of these. Fantastic story, gameplay, music, pacing, etc. I haven’t played any other game as polished as this one)
    • Terranigma (A surprisingly deep and philosophical game for the time, even compared to other great JRPGs of the same era, or of any era)
    • Yoshi’s Island (just raw fun)
    • Super Mario 64 (also just raw fun)
    • Majora’s Mask (Surprisingly deep and emotional for a Zelda game)
    • Silent Hill 1, 2, and 3 (2 in particular opened my eyes to actually being able to feel emotions for the first time)
    • Super Meat Boy (Addiction: the video game)
    • The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth (Crack: the video game)
    • OMORI (another fantastic and emotional game, almost on the level of Silent Hill 2, but replay value isn’t very high IMO)
    • A Link to the Past (Just raw fun, but in Zelda form)
    • Guitar Hero 1, 2, and 3 (I was especially involved in the customs scene back then)
    • Final Fantasy VI (A fantastic story in general)
    • Super Smash Bros (the series as a whole)
