He may be referring to the fact that it could be pronounced Auschwitz. I must admit, my immediate thought on reading the name was "why would someone name their app after a concentration camp?"
Most games don't have the time budget for that. Visuals take precedence, and it's not easy to get to 60fps as it is, especially if you're doing a lot of other processing.
And stealth games especially will probably rely a lot on shadows and other visual things, which make rendering more expensive.
I realise for casual users Windows is always going to be the OS of choice if for no other reason than it comes pre-installed and most people don't know how to reinstall an operating system.
However, Windows may be in trouble with more tech-literate people who do know how to change it. I can only speak for myself, but I've been a Windows user since 95. All but one of my programming jobs over the last 20 years have also been working on Windows. But I really dislike the direction Microsoft are taking and I find Windows to be terribly slow these days, with each version seemingly worse than the previous one. So I decided to look elsewhere.
A couple of months ago I bought a new laptop with the express intention of running Linux on it and giving it a good college try (I didn't want to mess around with dual-booting and I still need Windows on my main PC for work... for now). I know very little about Linux, but I've decided I'm not going to use Windows past 10 so it's time to find something else.
I went with Debian running dwm (Debian because I value stability over everything else, and dwm because I like the suckless philosophy) and it's honestly surprised me how good it's been. It's SO snappy. Everything is instant. It's really been a breath of fresh air.
I was especially dreading programming since I've solely used Visual Studio since Visual C++ 4.0 and don't really know anything else. Anyway, I went all-in and started learning Vim, GDB, and Make, and boy do I feel like I've been missing out. I'm really enjoying programming again, which for me has just become a job over the years.
Anyway, my point is, if tech-literate people are willing to give Linux a try, I wonder how many of them would be as surprised as I was and may make the switch permanently. With Windows getting worse, and Linux getting better, maybe more than ever.
It's not that we think it's arcane or that we are in our own "bubbles of thought", it's that we aren't doing math. We're programming a computer. And a competent programmer would know, or at least suspect, that doing it with logarithms will be slower and more complicated for a computer. The author even points out that even he wouldn't use his solution.
