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.

@Kaldo @sdx Even though #Valve is maintaining #Proton, which is based on #Wine, I think projects like #DXVK and #GalliumNine would not exist or have come this far if it weren't for Valve.

I think Valve's contribution to the #Linux world is very indirect, but cannot be denied.

Did you set the Hashtags yourself? Sorry but I find them pretty annoying.

They're probably replying from mastodon and using the tags for discoverability

It feels a bit weird to call the contributions to other distros indirect considering that the software that they have worked on and influenced are not SteamOS-exclusive afaik. Any distro can use it. Since it's free for any distro to utilize and take advantage of, wouldn't that basically be directly contributing to Linux distros?
