This article is IMO inaccurate in a few points:

> for the first time, we have a Rust-based driver in the mainline kernel.

https://rust-for-linux.com/amcc-qt2025-phy-driver is in mainline since 6.12 and https://rust-for-linux.com/asix-phy-driver even since 6.8

> empowers Nvidia's next-generation open-source graphics hardware. The driver targets Nvidia's RTX 2000 "Turing" series and newer GPUs.

This sounds like it is already fully working, but as far as I know it's just a stub driver merged so far: https://rust-for-linux.com/nova-gpu-driver, https://www.phoronix.com/news/NOVA-Driver-For-Linux-6.15

This makes the article appear as just click-bait to me.
