#2Ah, the AMD Game Engineering team, the same fine folks who implemented driver-level "optimizations" for Counter Strike that resulted in thousands of players getting permanently VAC banned.

#3This isn't hard: DirectX 12 and C++ and Visual Studio (not VSCode) and Windows on an NVIDIA card.
Vulkan basically isn't relevant anymore unless you are doing Android. Metal similarly unless you are doing iOS.
As a Linux user, this pains me. But it's just life. Windows-land is soooo much better for graphics programming that it's absurd.

The vac bans got reversed.

How does this sentiment align with the advent of WebGPU?

Academic computer graphics research is in many places still using OpenGL 4.1.
