Racing karts on a Rust GPU kernel driver (collabora.com)

Great accomplishment from the developers. Being announced in July and already running gnome and games. 2026 is going to become very interesting

Would you be able to elaborate further on the implications? What sort of devices and use cases would benefit from this work?

Looks like this is ARM specific, and is a layer between more 'traditional' APIs, ala vulkan and opengl, and the device's gpu.

Would this work provide speed ups or is it more for compatibility?
