Splitting the thread here. I personally used i3wm for more than a year and became white fast with it, then I had to use windows for a month and when I went back to i3 it was a pain, I couldn’t do shit. It was at that moment I decided “why can’t I just stop forcing myself to this PITA and just use the mouse faster?” And I never used a tiling VM again, personally I use kde on desktop and gnome on laptop.
But, I can see the appeal of automatic tiling, so I raise you this: scrollable compositors. You get both the benefits of automatic positioning and oc moving things in and out of the way, without keeping track and managing 10 virtual desktops
A couple years ago it could never have worked properly, Nvidia drivers didn’t support Wayland. Because Nvidia refused to implement drivers that followed the Linux semantic (which admittedly was outdated). About a year ago, after many years of work, they published a new semantic that Nvidia was willing to implement. Alongside that, a new Wayland protocol was added so that compositors could opt-in the new semantic when the driver supports it. So, to use Wayland with Nvidia you need both a recent enough Nvidia driver (I think anything after last July) and a compositor that implement the linux_drm_syncobj_v1 protocol. I’m not even sure hyperland supports it, so you should also look into that before continuing.
P.s.: gnome’s mutter, and kde’s kwin (which are the name of their compositors) both supported that protocol since the very day after it was released, so those are guaranteed to work if they are recent enough, unless if you are on Ubuntu lts which stripped it out for a pet peeve about adding features to lts releases.
I don’t have such a laptop, so I can’t really speak for experience, but I can tell you what I know.
You definitely can use prime to render a program on the dgpu and display it on the igpu, this requires basically no configuration at all on wayland, I even did it on my desktop computer when Wayland didn’t run on Nvidia. But I don’t know if you can or why you would use the dgpu for everything instead of only selected programs (games).
What you really need is a compositor that properly uses both GPUs and can use the ports of both at the same time, hyperlaneld might just be bad at that. Gnome should be in a better position so you can start from here and see if gnome behaves better.
Also, are you sure you want to use a tiling compositor on a gaming laptop? Wouldn’t it be a better experiment to just go with gnome? It’s visually polished and goes well with trackpads.
Performance Is about on par with windows for everything dx9 to dx12. Dx8 and earlier I think are not supported by wine.
In general you will be able to play almost all games, as long as they don’t require kernel level anti cheat, but some online games do block Linux users. In the case of tarkov I can’t help, you should read online.
Older games should be fine, personally I played Max Payne 1 an 2 a couple month ago, and the original Hitman series runs better than on windows.
Expect to do some tinkering on some more advanced games. E.g.: Shadow of the Tomb Raider and Alan Wake 2 require the experimental version of proton, God of War Ragnarok requires to enable SteamDeckMode on a config file to disable PlayStationSDK, usually you will find suggestions on protondb.
Some Nvidia proprietary things will not work in games on wine, e.g.: GPU accelerated physix will not work, also on some games dlss will require editing wine’s registry.

Daaaammm, imagine how old an adult mammoth would be.
I’m sure Carl is fine, I’m worried for everyone else though
Italy, 16€/month 5gbps down 600mbps up. Also I have a /60 IPv6, and a static but shared IPv4 (3 other users have the same IPv4 and each of us only get a range of 16000 ports) tunneled over IPv6.
Unix needed only \n because it had complex drivers that could replace \n with whatever sequence of special characters the printer needed. Also, while carriage return is useful, they saw little use for line feed
On dos (which was intended for less powerful hardware than unix) you had to actually use the correct sequence which often but not always was \r\n (because teleprinters used that and because it’s the “most correct” one).
Now that teleprinters don’t exist, and complex drivers are not an issue for windows, and everyone prefers to have a single \n, windows still uses \r\n, for backward compatibility.
In Italy we eat horses, so they are also farmed for food. I bet all the horses that end up on a slice of bread or a pizza would rather have pulled a carriage. Still they are a much less popular meat, I don’t think horse farming is as bad as, say, pig farming, (for the horse I mean) because there’s much less demand. “Frayed threads” (lack of better translation) of horse are pretty good with olive oil btw.

When the chapta is just a checkbox it means that chrome/safari has already ratted you out as a human long before.
They do also check mouse movements and the likes, tho. They also check how quick you are to answer
You are missing the point. They care when money is involved, and yet they failed to maintain a browser engine, which would have (for the better or for the worse) a central part of most people’s computing.
And yet, despite the browser being so important… They gave up and handed the cake to Google.
LMAO
Microsoft pays for a lot of opensource development, you may not like it but you still need its work, including Lennart Pottering’s salary (and don’t even start with “systemd bad”).
“Hyperv is the worst”… Shut up and come back when your hypervisor has proper GPU paravirtualization on all vendors.
Bad argument, Microsoft is among the three most valuable companies in the world, when something is important to them they get it done properly (e.g. hyperv is the best made part of windows, because they need it for azure). The settings page doesn’t get them money, only nerds care if it’s bad, a browser does.
Ok, but, does it really not work, or like, it’s just that you would have to run it in a batch and kill the bad cells, which could be unethical on human embryos?
Like, could we grow legs on a lungfish (which Google says has a larger genome than humans) using CRISPR-cas9 if we did not care about botched embryos?
