This is more than enough of an answer for the people that went “wHy BoThEr?” when this project started.
All of this great work, all of it upstreamed and a big part of it will (hopefully) influence even x86_64 machines if distros, communities and companies start supporting them. speakersafetyd sounds like a godsend for all laptop speakers, the pipewire energy-efficiency work sounds lovely for all laptops, specially more recent Intel ones, with P and E cores.
Also they’ve submitted not only bug reports but numerous fixes in many components not even belonging to them but applicable to any ARM systems and in some cases even AMD64. Their productivity is mad, their attitude awesome and they’ve benefited the entire open source community. Thank you to the Asahi Linux team!
