I find this headline incredibly misleading. Proper non-trivial Rust drivers already exist in the kernel. The entire Apple graphical stack for the ARM M-series SoCs is written in Rust, and it’s beyond excellent
I’m not sure it’s mainline yet? It may just be part of the Asahi project. From my understanding, they are being developed out of tree and will be merged/submitted later.
Yeah a lot of it is in the unstable builds for practically any mainstream distros.
