Someone on the NVIDIA forum was reporting issues with
vmem while running Elite Dangerous Odyssey.

I cobbled together a script to measure memory usage
by parsing nvidia-smi output, graph can be seen here:

(Hopefully this will allay fears that I am not a "real person".
I've been gaming on Linux for many years.)

Heh. Trying to use nVidia on Linux. That is punishment for something. Not
sure what, but nVidia seems to want to punish its Linux community.

I always used Radeon products with Linux back in the day. The open-source drivers were actually good.
