>Asahi Lina, our GPU kernel sourceress. Lina joined the team to reverse engineer the M1 GPU kernel interface, and found herself writing the world’s first Rust Linux GPU kernel driver. When she’s not working on the Asahi DRM kernel driver, she sometimes hacks on open source VTuber tooling and infrastructure.

Asahi Lina is a maintainer in Asahi Linux project. She is now much known because of the achivement she earned, programming the Asahi Linux GPU driver for MacOS.

Their = apple? Their = Asahi Lina's?
Asahi Linux has been upstreaming, but of course it's ongoing. The GPU driver in particular depends on some rust inside the kernel bits which aren't in the mainline kernel, yet. The 6.1 kernel has some Rust bits, 6.2 will have more, but I don't believe that will be enough for the GPU driver ... yet.

I think it’s a vTuber anime persona of a very talented programmer or something?
