As an Asahi Linux developer in 2021, she worked on reverse-engineering the Apple GPU for the purpose of porting Linux to the Apple M1 processor [15] [16] [17] to enable the development of a free software Gallium3D-based OpenGL driver [18] targeting the "AGX" architecture found in the M1 GPU. [19] In July 2021, Rosenzweig demonstrated Debian running bare metal on the Apple M1 with a mainline kernel. [20]
