Discussed the Vulkan portion with @SergeyZhukovsky and @GeetaSarvadnya regarding the Linux-related changes to Vulkan, enabled via Finch item listed above.

However, 90% of the users will stay in the Default cohort. Because this seems like an experiment, there's nothing we need to do on our side other than keep an eye on their study. Once they start enabling the flags on most of the population, we'll need to take a look and do the same via Griffin. However, for the C107 release, there's nothing to do in terms of QA verification/checks before signing off.
