Writing drivers is hard, especially with limited or no hardware documentation.
It still has a long way to go, but Asahi Linux getting as far as it has this quickly is impressive enough.
Honestly mad respect to these Devs man. Gotta realise they're doing this stuff for free and they're not getting paid. If anyone hasn't checked out the Asahi Linux blog, do give it a read, it has done fascinating deep dives into Apple's hardware engineering.
