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.

    Most of it was pretty much said in the previous announcement from the Asahi leadership. The TL:DR is that people are incredibly entitled, support took a huge downturn, but demands kept rising, and allegedly there have been numerous personal attacks on people. The Linux project leadership drama was just the whipped cream on top of the cake

          This

          That doesn’t mention harassment at all.

          this

          That only mentions harassment of them and their family incidentally, I can’t see any mention of harassment as a reason for quitting the project or in fact related to the project in any way.
