I used my Nvidia GPU's VRAM as system swap, and it freed me from buying more memory

My Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 has 32GB of GDDR7 memory, and it's honestly wasted on 90% of what I use my PC for. I’ve been finding new ways to use that GPU's potential lately, because it’s only using 3.4 GB most of the time, so it has plenty of resources to share. It’s idle, while DDR5 prices skyrocket and my WSL2 environment complains about memory every time I bring up containers, builds, and tricky LLM work that breaks on Windows.
