Developer for Linux on Apple Silicon Macs resigns, citing ‘major failure of leadership’
Yesterday morning, Hector Martin resigned from his position as project lead of Asahi Linux. This was a community effort that kicked off shortly after the Mac transition to Apple Silicon begun, in early 2021. After a ton of effort, the team finally released an alpha build of Asahi Linux for M1 and M2 Macs in early 2022. The project was going well.
However, because of burnout and an uphill battle with the Linux community, including Linux Torvalds himself, Hector Martin decided to resign. The project should ideally continue on without him.
