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.

The decade of work is starting to show for real. Many other tech companies have tried to break into new market "segments", but often pull the plug after the product isn't an instant hit. Valve had similar stumbles at first, but took what worked and tried to make that useful for as many people as possible.

Complete opposite of stadia, etc. which didn't really amount to anything after the initial failure.
