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!

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.

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

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."

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.

Absolutely incredible work on the practicality of Rust based drivers
