Rosenzweig, known for her Panfrost and Apple M1/M2 GPU driver work is now contracted by Valve to work on graphics driver development! Sounds like great news for Valve's push for Linux gaming.

I really appreciate that Valve seems to be ethical about the way they're going about this, at least so far. I haven't heard any bad news nor does it raise any "extend embrace extinguish" alarms. Rare for a company these days...

Well, Valve is a privately held company with a management that has a longer term vision than the next quarterly profits, so there's that. Make it public and let the MBAs in and it'll become shit in no time, which I sincerely hope will never happen.

Well, to be fair, Steam OS 3.0 is still closed source, but at least they are much-much better than Apple are
