Asahi Linux Lead Developer Hector Martin Resigns From Linux Kernel

Slashdot Linux - Pet, 02/07/2025 - 15:40
Asahi lead developer Hector Martin, writing in an email: I no longer have any faith left in the kernel development process or community management approach. Apple/ARM platform development will continue downstream. If I feel like sending some patches upstream in the future myself for whatever subtree I may, or I may not. Anyone who feels like fighting the upstreaming fight themselves is welcome to do so. The Register points out that the action follows this interaction with Linux Torvalds. Hector Martin: If shaming on social media does not work, then tell me what does, because I'm out of ideas. Linus Torvalds: How about you accept the fact that maybe the problem is you. You think you know better. But the current process works. It has problems, but problems are a fact of life. There is no perfect. However, I will say that the social media brigading just makes me not want to have anything at all to do with your approach. Because if we have issues in the kernel development model, then social media sure as hell isn't the solution.
