No reason they can’t.
If every layer of abstraction and emulation is set up to allow it to pass through. It still seems really impressive to me, like lining up a bunch of targets and shooting an arrow through to get multiple bullseyes or something, haha.
Hardly, the benefit of binary is if everything lines up once, it always will. It’s not an analog world with pesky things like wind resistance.

Is there actually any proof of that?

Thank not only these people but also their employers for funding the work.

#65This is super cool. So, wait, does this mean that gaming is better on Linux, on a Mac?
If you mean "I have a mac, is it better to run linux to game?"
Then there's a case for it, since you can run AAA games that apple + macos doesn't support / allow.

Modern browsers put a lot of care into making the changes to those styles observable to the user, but not to Javascript. This is an…

How do they stop you from using Canvas to see the output and send it back?

And we would care because...?

#68I'm a little sad that this has seemingly taken precedence over all other hardware support. M3 support, dp-alt mode, making the microphone work are all things that I was hoping were going to land in the past year.
I'm aware of no better way to see your desired features land in open source than to build them yourself. That is the power of open source, nobody can stop you!

#69> Tessellation enables games like The Witcher 3 to generate geometry. The M1 has hardware tessellation, but it is too limited for DirectX, Vulkan, or OpenGL. We must instead tessellate with arcane compute shaders > Geometry shaders are an older, cruder method to generate geometry. Like tessellation, the M1 lacks geometry shader hardware so we emulate with compute. Is this potentially a part of why Apple doesn't want…
Geometry shaders are not part of base Vulkan. They're an extension.
they are not an extension, they are part of core 1.0 vulkan.
Although its true that they are an optional feature (as is tessellation).

I understand the sentiment. But the people who could work on the Asahi Linux graphics stack are generally not the same as the people who could e.g. bring up Asahi Linux on M3 chips.
I would not consider the lack of activity in some Asahi Linux areas to be a conflict of priorities. It is in my opinion mostly a result of these lacking areas naturally attracting less developers capable of moving them forward.
