Wow!

Ship a great driver? Check.

Conformant OpenGL 4.6, OpenGL ES 3.2, and OpenCL 3.0? Check.

Conformant Vulkan 1.4? Check.

Proton gaming? Check.

Bravo!

Just think of the value that will have downstream for game devs or others who wish to target macOS. Apple really should do more to publicly acknowledge this kind of work and donate to these kinds of projects since they are beneficiaries.

Theres a chance here for them to open up further support for Linux across the hardware, software chain (Swift), containerization (finally) and maybe even allow app store virtualization on iOS (think running a fast linux compliant container on your phone via an intent or shortcut).

If not, perhaps DHH's Omarchy will be the Barbarians (with great hair) at the Gates which could turn the tide back away from Apple dev hardware dominance. If we could only get something like that on our phones without being blocked at every turn by "big app store".
