Asahi Linux Lead Developer Steps Down


After bringing full GPU support to Asahi Linux on Apple Silicon, Alyssa Rosenzweig steps back from the project.

Alyssa Rosenzweig, the lead developer behind Asahi Linux ’s Apple GPU reverse-engineering effort, has officially stepped down after bringing the project to a point many once thought was out of reach. The Asahi Linux project now features a working, open-source driver stack for Apple GPUs, allowing users to run a wide range of applications, from desktop environments to games, with proper acceleration. With both founder and GPU lead stepping away—though Rosenzweig only after a successful wrap-up—the challenge now is to keep pushing forward: upstreaming more Apple Silicon support, and building out continuous testing and integration infrastructure.
