Research direction

Start by locating the current Orbit integration and documenting how it is used on Linux, including the no-linking and no-instrumentation benefits mentioned here. Compare Tracy and Perfetto against those requirements, then define the replacement scope and validation needed to consider the profiler update complete.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Orbit is now linux only and doesn't seem too actively maintained (although not needing to link against it or instrument the code is nice)
It would probably make more sense to replace it with e.g. tracy or perfetto
