    This is the kind of selfless, talented, focused person that I am thankful for when I look at the FOSS ecosystem and how far it has come.

    An it really deeply annoys me when these talented persons, who’ve spent countless hours reverse engineering crap, undocumented, proprietary technologies that the original vendor didn’t care enough for its’ users to document or open source, get blasted online by entitled brats that say “Linux sux, my AAA game don’t work!”.

    My thank you to all of them that made all the great tools that I use and love today.

      While I agree with you, reading the linked article this does not seems the case. She simply said that she reached all the goal she wanted in this endeavour and then she pass to the next challenge.

        You are right, it is not the case. She comes across as a very focused and motivated person that sets goals and achieves them, benefiting the community in the process. I wish I was like that. 😅

        I just expressed my own feelings towards people that don’t recognize all the free hard work that developers like her have given them, and blame all the community for not supporting the piece of hardware that the vendor saw fit not to support.

    That’s just a remarkable level of talent and dedication. Mind blowing considering how much of it she did while working and studying.

    I’ve been driving Gentoo on M2 Air now for some time. Maybe a year. I wouldn’t have bought it if it weren’t for Asahi folks.

    “Can’t run Linux? I’ll pass.”

    I hope I get to use usb-c display mode in the future.

    Alyssa is so incredibly impressive. I don’t usually particularly suffer from impostor syndrome, but I wouldn’t even dream of being able to accomplish what she has.

    The work these people have done is so impressive, it’s been incredible watching them do this and accomplish so much so quickly.

    I’m incredibly excited about Asahi Linux, and it’s amazing to see just how much progress they’ve made with it. M series architecture is strictly superior to anything else that’s currently available, and being able to run Linux on it is really great. The only thing that I miss with it is hibernation, but that’s really not that big of a deal when it comes to day to day usage.
