For personal reasons, I no longer feel safe working on Linux GPU drivers or the Linux graphics ecosystem. I’ve paused work on Apple GPU drivers indefinitely.

I can’t share any more information at this time, so please don’t ask for more details. Thank you.

If you think you know what happened or the context, you probably don’t. Please don’t make assumptions. Thank you.

I’m safe physically, but I’ll be taking some time off in general to focus on my health.

Well that’s sudden.

    There are a lot of other people also working on Linux gpu drivers. Heck I know someone at AMD doing it now. Lots of people seem to be oddly blowing this out of proportion like it will stop the entire ecosystem of Linux.

      The project is for making unofficial drivers for Apple’s chips, which very few people are trying to do. Without Asahi, you can’t run Linux on Macbooks.
