Building a Linux GPU Driver for the M4 Mac Mini in One Month

A developer has created a Linux graphics driver for Apple’s M4‑based Mac Mini within a month. The project, released as an open‑source module, enables basic GPU acceleration on the ARM‑based system by reverse‑engineering the proprietary hardware interface. Initial benchmarks show functional rendering, though performance remains limited compared with macOS drivers. The effort demonstrates rapid progress in Linux support for Apple Silicon.
