[$] The future for Tyr
Theteam behindTyr started 2025 with little to show in our quest toproduce a Rust GPU driver for Arm Mali hardware, and by the end of theyear, we were able to play SuperTuxKart (a 3D open-source racinggame) at the Linux Plumbers Conference (LPC). Our prototype was a jointeffort between Arm, Collabora, and Google; it ran well for the durationof the event, and the performance was more than adequate for players.Thankfully, we picked up steam at precisely the right moment: DaveAirlie justannounced in the Maintainers Summit that the DRM subsystemis only "about a year away
" from disallowing new drivers written in Cand requiring the use of Rust. Now it is time to lay out apossible roadmap for 2026 in order to upstream all of this work.
