    See this is what I mean. You don’t even know what I’m talking about because these features don’t even exist in Linux yet. Thank you for confirming that the 3D Settings page still doesn’t exist. I won’t be switching until it does.

    Furthermore, AI upscaling has nothing do with DLSS or Nvidia Shield. It’s a GPU feature that upscales any video playing on your PC to 4K, whether it be in a video player or your favorite browser of choice. It’s a really neat feature to have (especially for watching older content), and not something I can go without now that I’m used to it. Same goes for SDR-to-HDR conversion. Yes I’m aware that it’s not true HDR, but it’s convincing enough to fool me. YouTube videos look so much better with it on. Whites are whiter and colors really pop. Again, not something I can live without, now that I’m used to it.

    It doesn’t matter to me who’s fault it is; what matters to me is being able to use the features I paid for, and for that reason alone I’m stuck with Windows. Believe me, I really want to switch and get away from all the privacy-invading telemetry, but I can’t just yet.

      “I want everything on my computer to look shiny and fake and rendered and if i cant have that with linux then microsoft will just get to keep raping my data. Because when im watching my YOUTUBERS i dont want to see people i want them to look like filtered upscaled animations.”

        ^ See this is the other issue I have with Linux users. $20 says you hate 24/30Hz to HFR conversion as well. You probably hate 3D audio too. You’re all the same.

        Call it “shiny” and “fake” all you want, but it looks a lot more real to me than the dull, stuttery, pixelated video we’ve all been fooled into believing is superior because Hollywood told generations of people that it was, simply because the technology wasn’t there yet.

        Now it’s here, and you people call it “shiny, fake, and rendered” because you’re old and stubborn and unable to accept the fact that technology evolves. Hate to burst your bubble, but it doesn’t actually look the way you’re imagining it does. I wish I could show you in person. You’d become a believer, like everyone else I’ve shown my HTPC setup to.

        If the point of video is not to capture a slice of life, then what is the point of video? 1080p SDR @ 24 FPS does not look real to me, but 4K HDR @ 120+ is much closer, even when upscaled to that.
