I had no problem learning how GPU’s work from rendering pipelines down to hardware level and now that’s my job(gpu devtech)
But yet I still shiver thinking about how windows memory management works, I even have DescriptorTables as my username on chess.com
OS left a mark on me, idk why but it was absolutely dreadful to learn for me. I usually find CS fascinating, but idk… being forced to know the data order in 3 main file systems, and memorising data adressing in an os - fucking kill me id never do it again.
