Those people are legendary. A bunch of nerds singlehandedly defeating a multi-billions dollars business. I have an M1 for work, if they can manage for Asahi Linux to take advantage of the GPU, I will do 90% of my work on Linux.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Umm, it already does for quite a while now (at least for regular usage). The work they're currently doing will enable people to play games and other GPU-intensive work.
other GPU-intensive work.
That's what I meant. I've tried a bit of video editing in DaVinci Studio and the performance was far from what I get on macOS.
Oh boy, Davinci? Don't hold your breath, it's super picky even with the more mature GPU drivers.
That's what I was thinking at first but at the speed things are moving with these people, anything can happen.
Wow what a neat project, I have spent a lot of time recently working around vulkan on m1 machines with compatibility layers and while it's not a huge pain it does suck to miss out on some of the more powerful features of vulkan that the hardware is certainly capable of. I'm not keen on learning metal to bridge the gap and this is just what the doctor ordered.
This will be a huge boon for me, way to go!
