The first conformant M1 GPU driver

@AsahiLinux i still don't know what's up with apple's beef with the khronos group
@cb @AsahiLinux I don’t think it’s beef per se, but rather Apple just liking to do their own thing rather than conform to what everyone else does, for better or for worse.
@cb @AsahiLinux a theory I saw recently was that Apple wanted to keep open the opportunity to sue other companies on the Khronos board, and was concerned that being involved with the Vulkan standards group (and the associated patents) would leave them open to countersuits.
@cb @AsahiLinux maybe related to Apple creating OpenCL and donating it to Khronos who proceeded to completely drop the ball.

@AsahiLinux > Why did *we* pursue standards conformance when the manufacturer did not? Above all, our commitment to quality.

Throwing shade :D Congratulations!

@outadoc @AsahiLinux Nothing throws shade like receipts. :)
@AsahiLinux
Congratulations! And thank you for your hard work.
@AsahiLinux Congrats! Y'all are true wonders of the FOSS world!

I don't see a license file. Multi-license that puppy so all can enjoy?

@AsahiLinux @macgeneration Ça semble être une étape importante. 🤔
Je ne dirais pas non à un article (du club ?) qui vulgarise un peu tout ça, et savoir où on en est d'avoir linux sur m1 😊
@AsahiLinux Why aren't any other Mesa drivers certified conformant?
@AsahiLinux that’s awesome and congratulations, when will Fedora be ‘officially‘ available for everyone to install? My M1 MacBook Air is patiently waiting.
@AsahiLinux that is a colossal achievement! fantastic work.
@AsahiLinux @Em0nM4stodon does the hypervisor support gpu pass through? Would love to try to compile Yuzu…
@AsahiLinux congratulations to everyone involved!
@AsahiLinux Incredible work! Excited to see what the future may hold 🖖
@AsahiLinux I wanted to ask, ask it is not clear after I read through this:
https://asahilinux.org/about/
when I run the automated installer, will it automatically setup dual boot on my mac? Or will it let my partition the existing drive? How does it work in general?
I am struggling to find enough info about this, so response will be greatly appreciated!

@AsahiLinux i found it in the alpha release blog post.. but.. i would suppose that including this information alongisde the bash install link would make sense, right?
