Clearly a lot of careful thought went into their strategy of using AI and firing engineers.

C Header 779 100979 57715 29459 13805- occasionally an online game breaks and it's usually fixed within a day or two. for example at some point a Battle.net update broke the launcher under Wine some time last year, then for a while Overwatch would intermittently crash once every few sessions. I haven't gamed on Windows in years so I can't even compare anecdotally, but I suspect Windows is probably slightly more stable with live service games. I've never had any issues with a single player game, period. (YMMV)
- DX12 performance is 10-20% worse on Nvidia. This should be improved Soon (TM) - I think the last piece is https://github.com/HansKristian-Work/vkd3d-proton/tree/descr...
- Some anticheats block Linux - the only times I've switched over to windows in the last year have been when some friends wanted me to play Marathon with them
- Running 'sidecars' alongside your games or modding works but is generally more of a hassle with wine
things I didn't expect to work but do:
- Game streaming with Sunlight works fine to Samsung TV via the TizenOS Moonlight app
- Nvidia had suspend issues for a year but those have all been sorted out the last few months

Note that normal maps are still widely used in PBR workflows. The article doesn't mention them, but older renderers tended to use diffuse, specular, normal maps, and modern asset creation typically involves albedo, roughness/smoothness, metalness, and ambient occlusion maps in addition to normal maps for textures.
Sure, Aristotle wasn't talking about corporations, but as the author says "you can refuse to participate, but that doesn’t make it go away," you shouldn't be a bird which flies alone.
It's the shame the docs on it are still quite bad. The example config in the article here does look almost identical to the one we use everywhere, just without the redact, and should probably be pasted somewhere into the official docs.
Every provider seems to produce their own soft fork of the collector for branding (eg Alloy, ADOT, etc) and slightly changes the configuration, which doesn't help.
> Currently, logs and traces live in separate worlds. You can see that a trace has an error, and you can see related logs, but you can't query them together.
I've looked into SigNoz a few times but still using Grafana. The former does look promising, and features like this would start to make the case for maybe switching.
