Marek Olšák, one of the most prolific AMD Linux GPU driver developers and a key contributor to Mesa's Radeon/RadeonSI Gallium3D drivers, has left AMD to join Valve. His FreeDesktop.org GitLab profile reflects the change. With over 15 years of contributions to Mesa and 441 Phoronix mentions since 2008, Marek is expected to continue his Mesa work at Valve alongside other Valve GPU engineers like Samuel Pitoiset and Timur Kristóf, further strengthening Valve's open-source Linux graphics driver team — driven largely by Steam Deck and Steam Machine development.
