    That’s nuts. In the US the only high school math I was taught was algebra and geometry. Anything more advanced than that was for students in the “gifted” program. No wonder why Americans are so stupid.

    Yeah seriously WTF, I didn’t even learn basic Algebra until freshmen year of high school! We never even got to the math with the fancy letters in it. I have no idea what those cursive f, d, and w characters mean.





  • Desktop, of course, simply for upgradability and better thermal management.

    I have an AM5 system, so I’ll be able to upgrade not only my graphics card, but my CPU as well, and have a modern machine that’ll last me well into the 2030s. These days you can’t even upgrade your RAM on most laptops.

    There’s also the fact that I don’t really feel the need to game on the go, and modern smartphones have fulfilled my need to have a portable computer for everything else. When I did own a gaming laptop, I paid way too much money for it, and the battery didn’t even last an hour playing something as basic as The Sims, so it had to be plugged in all the time like a desktop anyway. Within 4 years the GPU was too old to run anything at a reasonable framerate. Never buying a gaming laptop again.

    Boys, I tried. But I couldn’t get HDR working properly in KDE, the kernel kept randomly locking up to the point where even REISUB didn’t do anything, and 95% of my GPU settings were missing from the Nvidia X Server app and I couldn’t get most of them restored.

    Linux users look at me like I’m insane when I ask where the RTX Video Enhancement and 3D settings are. Half the reason why I bought an RTX GPU was for the video enhancement features like SDR to HDR conversion and AI upscaling, yet these features simply don’t exist in Linux. And when it comes to the 3D settings, “just change the graphics settings in-game”, I’ve seen people say, failing to realize that the vast majority of games are missing several graphics settings that are in the 3D settings screen. I go into that menu and make tweaks before I play anything. It’s a make-or-break feature for me.

    I’m sorry but Linux still hasn’t caught up enough with Windows yet in the gaming and HDR realm for me to commit to an OS change. But if you have an AMD GPU and don’t have an HDR display, I’m sure it’s a wonderful gaming experience for you. I’ll check back again in another 5 years.
