> Judging by Asahi, FOSS will be fine.

Or rather: based on the results of other contemporary complex hardware RE efforts, Asahi will never be relevant. Think of _how many GPU hardware_ there have been efforts to RE, and how few have produced any drivers that people would be happy to use on a daily basis. How many people use Nouveau these days? PowerVR SGX (a "GNU high priority project" from a decade ago!)? Lima? Even Panfrost?

In fact, this entire IPU webcam thing is not new. We've had hardware with IPU for at least half a decade and literally _NO_ such device works with Linux, only a couple devices half-work, and very poorly at that.

There are much fewer people working on hardware support on Linux that you may think.
