Unposted youtubes are more fun, anyway.

ObLinux:

Should mention that with NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-570.133.07 and
NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-575.51.02 Steam has been throwing an error:

MESA: error: DRM_VIRTGPU_RESOURCE_CREATE_BLOB failed with Invalid argument
MESA: error: Failed to create virtgpu AddressSpaceStream
MESA: error: vulkan: Failed to get host connection

Doesn't seem to affect gaming, but it's annoying.  Might have something
to do with my changes to my Linux .config, where I set some DRM modules
to "y" (add to kernel) instead of "m" (build as module).  Also some
related errors in dmesg.  Will have to investigate.
