Exactly. People here mostly do general-purpose computations on them, despite “G” stands for graphics.
Search for “Graphics”, and the majority of top results are for CPU-based stuff, pixel graphics in terminal, python, Skia. There’re some results for GPU-based graphics, like graphic studies for MGS and GTA, but they’re minority.
I think graphics is how the majority of users use their hardware for, but it’s under-represented here.
