    Me after I spent a whole evening being unable to boot into grub after trying to get Wayland to work. Wayland will have to wait for a bit longer…

        Yuppers. I need CUDA for my machine learning projects, both for hobby and professionally. I considered AMD and their alternative at the time, but it wasn’t supported on their consumer cards back then, and I also didn’t fully trust their commitment. It’s getting better though, so hopefully AMD can convince me for my next GPU in a few years.

            Proprietary NVidia API for paralell computation.

            Very useful for Machine Learning stuff. And for Crypto though that has fallen out of fashion nowadays.

            Basically if you’re doing a fuck-ton of math and want it to happen very fast, you want to use a GPU to do it (GPUs are literally made for that – That this helps them draw video games is a happy consequence), and NVidia’s CUDA tech makes it… Easier? Faster? Not sure what the proper difference is, but yeah.
