Someone started working on a Vulkan driver for TeraScale GPUs a few years ago:

I believe it can run some demos add even works on windows.

I was drawing an average of 2.5kWh after a week of monitoring my whole rack

That doesn’t seem right; that’s only ~18W. Each one of those systems alone will exceed that at idle running 24/7. I’d expect 1-2 orders of magnitude more.

That’s just an ACK and Elizabeth replied that she’ll resend again with further changes.

Nothing is in any tree that is going to Linus yet AFAICT.

We could be reasonably sure that it’ll go to Linus if it’s in char-misc but that hasn’t happened yet. I’m also actually not sure whether Greg’s or Arnd’s tree is the canonical one there.

Fake news. It’s merely a re-send of the patches; nothing landed yet.

The Phoronix article and their title makes that clear; you editorialised it to state differently. (Also, that’s…cringe.)

Why is this being downvoted? It’s clearly labelled as Japanese; if you don’t want to see foreign languages, filter them out.

meaning every step of building the kernel, including the steps taken to build the C compiler toolchain, are produced by code that is simple enough to check for correctness and safety.

Full-source bootstrap isn’t about just the kernel, it affects every piece of software. With GUIX and Nix, every single package can be fully traced back to the bootstrap seed.

Though it should be noted that you do require a running Linux kernel on an x86 machine in order to bootstrap.

it is not quite to the point where it /just works/ on a lot of the computer hardware that I own.

Unless we get some serious money, effort and/or regulation w.r.t. OSS firmware, that will likely never be the case.
That has nothing to do with its technology though, that’s a political issue. GUIX is a GNU project and acts like proprietary software does not exist/is not a basic necessity in 2023.
