Two major leads gone in the same year. I hope that doesn’t mean the project falters. Really need to start donating so that there’s support for my M3 before Apple eventually drops support for it.
Alyssa’s announcement https://rosenzweig.io/blog/asahi-gpu-part-n.html
It’s actually insane how someone reverse engineered the whole graphical stack, in a couple years, to the point where it’s capable of running mainstream games perfectly fine. Hats off to Alyssa and the rest of the team
Satisfied, I am now stepping away from the Apple ecosystem. My friends in the Asahi Linux orbit will carry the torch from here.
This whole project is badass. Well done.
Cheers, and what a hell of a legacy to leave behind in the linux community.
Wish her the best of luck.
Hell of a legacy for sure! It’s also just so insane to think that she started this project in college. I had no idea she was so young. I wonder what incredible shit will she work on in the future!
We’ve succeeded beyond my dreams. The drivers are fully upstream in Mesa. Performance isn’t too bad… Satisfied, I am now stepping away from the Apple ecosystem.
“Excellent!” the Prince exclaimed. “Your technique is faultless!”
“Technique?” said the programmer, turning from his terminal, “What I follow is Tao – beyond all techniques! When I first began to program, I would see before me the whole problem in one mass. After three years, I no longer saw this mass. Instead, I used subroutines. But now I see nothing. My whole being exists in a formless void. My senses are idle. My spirit, free to work without a plan, follows its own instinct. In short, my program writes itself. True, sometimes there are difficult problems. I see them coming, I slow down, I watch silently. Then I change a single line of code and the difficulties vanish like puffs of idle smoke. I then compile the program. I sit still and let the joy of the work fill my being. I close my eyes for a moment and then log off.”
Absolutely incredible work on the practicality of Rust based drivers
