I don't know about that man. Installed Fedora 42 and GNOME to run with my RTX3080 and GNOME froze and crashed at random constantly. Installed KDE Plasma instead and it runs just fine.

I don't see them lying but that's on you I guess

RT is of course a shortcut too, it's not an exact representation of how light actually behaves...

CDProjektRed just showcased The Witcher 4 running RT with 60 fps on a PS5. Bullshit its too slow to be available for most people.

What I'm talking about is drawing accurate reflections and I don't know any other technique that produces the same accuracy as RT

RT also makes level-design simpler for the development team as they can design levels by what-you-see-is-what-you-get method rather than having to bake the light sources.

Not true. Screen space reflections consistently fails to produce accurate reflections.

It's not a trick, it's just lighting done the way it should be done without all the tricks we need now like Subsurface scattering or Screen space reflections.

The added benefit is that materials reflect more of their natural reflection making all the materials look more true to life.

Its main drawback is that it's GPU costly, but more and more AAA games are now moving toward RT as standard by being more clever in how it handles its calculations.

Hm, maybe find a way to bypass the veto and just kick them out of the Union.

Depends on the desktop environment in my experience. On Fedora Gnome it was an unstable mess with my Nvidia RTX card but Fedora KDE Plasma has been stable.

HDR support is the whole reason for picking Wayland and anyhow I don't see whats so bad about it.
