- dcchambers 2y agoWow! I wasn't aware, but that actually gives me a ton of confidence that Valve isn't ignoring ARM with all of their Linux + Proton work. Her output is incredible.
- inputError 2y agoAlyssa rules. We all love Alyssa.
- 1-more 2y agoI see cats writing software _with hardly any documentation_ like this and my brain melts. Power level strictly monotonic, possibly exponential, and very very large. Bravissima!
- adastra22 2y agoI hope they don’t ignore macOS. They could port proton to run on Metal + Rosetta and then Steam would support all running windows titles on macOS and Linux. I recognize it’s a hell of an ask, but I think Alyssa could pull it off.
- pmarreck 2y agoI'm a huge macOS fan but even I have to admit that gaming deserves to have a home on an open-source OS controlled by no one (which would be Linux in this case) and that Steam devoting effort to bring first-class gaming from Windows to macOS is like working to escape from the frying pan into the fire.

- psd1 2y agoI hope that she was working on Asahi full time at valve, because if she did all that while also holding down a day job then I might as well be soylent green.
