  • It’s not a matter of ability, but instead comes down to a numbers game. There are significantly more men who play chess, so they will be overrepresented at high levels of play while women will be underrepresented.

    You see it in many, many non-physical sports. Chess, e-sports, professional poker, etc.

    It’s anecdotal, but I myself used to participate in a niche board sport at a professional level. The skill gaps between men and women at the top level is enormous. The boards are electric, so there is little physical sex based advantage, if anything women’s lower centers of gravity is a plus, but there are just significantly fewer women who race competitively. This is evidenced even further by the fact that each of the women at the top level have tremendous skill gaps between one another when compared to the men.

    Ultimately, the more competitors you have in any given bracket, the higher the skill ceiling will be pushed.










  • Pretty much everything I’ve tried has worked seamlessly out of the box. Obviously, the same issues crop up as with any other Linux system: you pretty much cannot play kernel level anticheat games, womp womp. I might have installed my video drivers myself, I honestly don’t recall, but it’s as easy as grabbing them from pacman.

    For my particular setup, I’m using an Nvidia card and mostly only use Steam for games, although I have gotten Proton to work with a couple of games outside of Steam.

    In case you’re new to Linux in general, when I first installed Steam, I noticed I could only play a small fraction of my games and was disheartened, but you just have to turn on the Proton compatibility layer and you’re good to go.

    I do also have a Windows 11 VM for any compatibility issues, but I honestly haven’t booted it up in months.





  • I cracked some of the cartilage of my ribs a while back as well and I’m pretty sure now suffer from bouts of recurring costochondritis, myself. Could be that. Mine is really fun, pain right over my heart and sometimes left arm pain. On top of that, I’ve always had health related anxiety, so it’s “Don’t Have a Panic Attack!” on hard mode. Or I’m slowly dying of heart failure, who knows.
