>have you experimented with using different shadow/depth bit-depths? (16, 24, 32...) Maybe based on the light's radius?

My shadow map texture buffers are set to DXGI_FORMAT_R24G8_TYPELESS so they use 24 bit depth maps and 8 bit stencils (though I'm not using the stencils) but I do initialize the projection matrix to have a max depth of the radius of the light in order to prevent wasted precision at larger distances.

How would I do different levels of precision? Looking at DXGI constants there's

DXGI_FORMAT_D32_FLOAT
DXGI_FORMAT_D24_UNORM_S8_UINT
DXGI_FORMAT_R24_UNORM_X8_TYPELESS
DXGI_FORMAT_D16_UNORM


so those would handle 16 24 and 32 bit. I suppose if I'm not using the stencil int I should just be using 32 bit depth maps? or 16 bit just to save space maybe

Any version of Windows since 1995 has been more polished, production-ready and user-friendly than any Linux distro ever made. That's obvious to anybody who has installed both of them on the same machine.

Are Linux users just lying about their distros being a better experience than a Windows installation?

>/g/ makes a 19th album
Theme: [Accepting suggestions]

>Song submission rules/guidelines
Upload the file somewhere, preferably in a lossless format, and post the link here. If you want to update your track, make a new post.
Include the song title in the post, and make it clear that your song is a submission for the album.
Optionally you may include cover art for your track, but please confirm that the image in your post is the cover art or it won't be included. You may not use your real artist name.
Songs that contain anything against YouTube's policies won't be uploaded on YT, but will still be added to the album.
By default, tracks will be normalised to -14 LUFS (integrated loudness) in the release. You may specify a lower loudness for your track.
Use of AI is banned. This includes AI generated stems, samples, and effects. "AI" includes all neural network-based models and not hard-coded automation/procedural generation. You are allowed to ask an LLM about music-related questions, but asking it to give you musical ideas (eg. generating a chord progression) is already a no-no.

you're never in a millions years going to be mainstream successful along the likes of zedd, clean bandit, the chainsmokers, at least not without paying thousands for someone else to do mixing and mastering because you can't remotely do it yourself to actually good standards
at least someone like bthelick is making a living off of his youtube grift so he doesn't need to get out of his comfort zone and push himself to make better music, but as for someone like you, it's incredible how bluepilled you can be

I think the founder of 8ch stepped away from it just because how many mass shootings were sprouting up from there. Some of the perpetrators were American.

But yeah, Americans will go "muh second amendment protects muh freedom" just to give all their data to Google anyway. Americans are so scatter brained from TikTok and culture war nonsense that a blatantly totalitarian government could takeover their country and they still wouldn't do shit about it. The BLM protests were funny because they setup CHAZ as a fuck you to the state, and they still ended up shooting black teenagers anyway. Those murders have never been solved btw.

>>107651301
the whole push for a xorg alternative came about because some pen testers discovered that X11 was open by design and called it a security hazard (which it can be in an untrusted environment)

fix some of those issues and you have a good display server.

at the end of the day, use what you want.
i prefer x11 because its familiar and mature.
if you want to use wayland, then do so.
we don't have to use the same things you know.

i believe they couldn't make aero work fine in longhorn so they were changing stuff until they restarted everything and Vista got the final aero version that was still demanding on most PCs.

Maybe they also felt they needed to compete more with OSX which felt incredibly elegant and futuristic, and at the time Jobs loved to bully the hell out of Microsoft
>>
>>107651125

jobs baited microsoft with os x
the reason os x was so goated at the time is because forstall and others spent years perfecting NextSTEP and its APIs, and at the end they had an Unix that could run circles around the WinNT kernel. Cocoa is probably still the most pleasant to program desktop API.
>>
>>107651174
NextSTEP worked so good for Jobs it's unbelievable, wish Apple would be that scheming these days. Back then Jobs didn't want to partake in market share wars because affordable PCs were ass. These days they could perfectly build a reasonably priced Mac to start making dents to MS market share.

But now because of the AI wars all those possibilities went to shit
