This is Alyssa Rosenzweig. She reverse-engineered Apple's M1 GPU with no public documentation and also developed an open-source Linux driver. (programming.dev)

I had one and it died after 4 years. From what I've seen on the internet and what Apple's technicians told me this isn't an uncommon issue. Fortunately my 7-8 year old HP laptop still functions (aside from the battery which completely crapped out after 2-3 years). Also they started soldering everything to the motherboard so you have to replace almost the entire computer if it breaks.

the original os which I use for photography still feels like new after 5 years

Near the end macOS felt slow/throttled. Linux was fast though.
