> Apple should upstream their drivers.

Apple don't have linux drivers. It would be great if they wrote some, but it's never going to happen.

> Who is Asahi Lina? Is that an actual person?

The virtual persona of an actual person who has chosen to remain anonymous (hence the name which would be a crazy coincidence otherwise).

While anonymous, they did put in some personal information at 10 minutes into: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LonzMviFCNs

They are Canadian born, currently studying in Japan, so that explains some of the cultural mix.

I always thought that she was an umbrella persona for marcan and alyssa or is the backstory just for the Lina persona?

> Who is Asahi Lina? Is that an actual person?

Man... if I was a conspiracy theorist who believed Apple was genuinely evil, what if Asahi Lina is an Apple employee? ;)

Apple has pushed OS updates to help the Asahi team, though they did not publicize this, of course.

Source for this claim?

You got downvoted unfairly, asking for sources is totally normal.

This has been long established. marcan_42 has repeatedly posted about this here, on twitter and reddit to name a few locations.

It might be "long established" but plenty of people didn't know this, including me.
