Wrong result when using OpenGL for GPGPU computing
You have several tools, this can be done by printing debug messages using extensions such as KHR_debug, or using specific tools which will inject themselves between your OpenGL calls and your driver such as apitrace or RenderDoc. I recommend running your program in RenderDoc regularly even if everything seems to work fine as it may help you catch some subtle bugs.

Benchmark and optimization
That said, the profiling situation for non-NV users is not completely hopeless. You can still use API timer queries to get an idea of how long events take on the device. Tracy also supports GPU profiling, but I suspect it's just a fancy way of inserting timer queries. apitrace also claims to support profiling OpenGL apps, but I'd be wary of overhead as it's doing a lot of other things besides profiling.

Total War: Shogun 2 native version by Feral Interactive crashes instantly, gives a weird error
At first I thought Feral probably used it accidentally, but this thread about the symbol's use in apitrace seems to shed some light:

Help with SkiaSharp rendering in an AvaloniaUI control
I don't see anything wrong with your code, altough I'm not familiar with Avalonia or Silk. I suggest you try to use apitrace for (a probably long and painful day) debugging it.

Godot crashes whenever I make an OpenGL 3.0 project
I get that it's hard to debug without direct access, but isn't there some dump or log that they could generate and provide? Maybe something like using apitrace?

Looking for help reporting a mesa bug with the game Indivisible
Pierre-Eric Pelloux-Prayer @pepp · 6 months ago Developer https://github.com/apitrace/apitrace/blob/master/docs/USAGE.markdown is the basic doc. For Steam games I usually go to the game's folder (probably $HOME/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Indivisible) and try to run the game with apitrace (apitrace trace indivisible-executable). It should print a line to indicate where the trace file is written to (apitrace: tracing to somefile.trace.

more realistic graphics part II
I spend some time today and klicked through various reshade filters (free download at https://reshade.me ). They can be turned on and off ingame via hotkey, live-changed during the game and have (almost) no performance hit. They also do not declare as a Warno Mod and hence are fully compatible with multiplayer, ranked games etc. As I am not a pro in shaders and such stuff, it was a process of trial and error.
