In case anyone is confused, DRM refers to Direct Rendering Manager, not Digital Rights Management: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_Rendering_Manager

what does this have to do with the viking god of war like its not that hard to come up with some relevant name

The GPUs themselves are named after norse mythology (utgard, midgard, bifrost, valhall), the driver names have been related to those (panfrost, panthor, and now tyr). And the whole theme comes from the fact that the GPUs originate from Norwegian company (later acquired by ARM)

Direct Rendering Manager (DRM) has to be one of the worst possible re-uses of an acronym ever. This is the second time I've seen it used recently without an expansion of the acronym.
