I'm a little sad that this has seemingly taken precedence over all other hardware support. M3 support, dp-alt mode, making the microphone work are all things that I was hoping were going to land in the past year.
I'm aware of no better way to see your desired features land in open source than to build them yourself. That is the power of open source, nobody can stop you!
i don't hate to be the one to tell you, but skills and context can be learnt. personally, i have found no better way to learn skills than to work on something i care about.
Sure, and it’s the same for quite a lot of people. It does not mean that anyone can do it, for a whole lot of reasons.
