@illyBytes if someone sends me 2 grand in Monero I'll write at least a basic one for Intel GPUs without vibecoding HaikuOS seemed fun (I work on Linux Intel GPU drivers for fun) Or I randomly decide to try out HaikuOS and like it enough
@illyBytes 2 grand is tbh such a random estimate Take a lookie at the initial commits to the xe Intel driver for the skeleton for driving a modern Intel GPU, it does rely on the Linux kernel for yk, having a lot of existing infra (KMS & GEM, DMA stuff, PCIe...) but yea (To be clear I didn't write any of it, I mostly poke around in mesa and just fixed a few minor bugs in mesa and play around with my own little portable Rust driver and stuff)
@illyBytes for someone that knows how it works or they can ask someone that knows it'd be easy, I spent years staring at the Linux kernel and Mesa src and crying on IRC for help
@illyBytes I somewhat know how it works I mostly messed around with driving the rendering so I'm unsure a lot about the initial bringup of the device and mode setting, but I could probably hack together a shader compiler for spirv or yeet Mesa's? Actually, Mesa has a HaikuOS thing already? I seen some in the codebase, so I'd just need to... Do the thing I'm bad at atm, great
@tranquillity looking at src code and crying is me trying to port my nxp mcxn236 to microzig (why is it architectured like that, why is every port slightly architectured differently ðŸ˜, how tf is the mcxa the supported board when its fucking definitions are as shallow as a puddle, while the mxcn94something thing has more code??)
@illyBytes those words sound scary to me lmao MicroZig seems interesting Reminds me of messing around with arcane zig.build incantantations for some embedded zig I did for arcane freestanding x86 targets
@tranquillity oh yeah something, ignore the claude blocked banner if you blocked claude, they accidentally accepted a pr that had claude stuff in it once lol
