I don’t know much about ARM, but this is good right?
It seems that the more officially supported, open source GPU driver stacks we have, the better.
Of course it’s good! Especially for GNU/Linux on mobile.
I believe it when useable in emulators in Android. Especially for Mali GPUs.
End of the article mentions the following:
Android was not mentioned by either Arm or Collobora, so I’d assume Arm will still focus their resources and provide closed-source Mali GPU drivers for Android, while expanding their support for Panfrost on Linux.
android emulators can ship their own userland drivers, this is how a lot of android emulators ship turnip drivers which boast expanded vulkan feature support and sometimes better performance. and considering the open source nature, i can easily see someone porting it for rom usage especially considering how much of a meme mali drivers are on android and emulation community
Damn it.
