Lead developer of Asahi Linux steps down |
 |
The Asahi Linux project, which forms the basis of Fedora Asahi Remix, is a project which makes Linux run on Apple's M-series hardware. The Asahi Linux project's founder, Hector Martin, has decided to step down from leading Asahi. In his farewell blog post, Martin mentions the constant request for new features from users, diminishing donations, and the team's inability to get changes committed upstream in the Linux kernel as key reasons for his plan to leave Asahi Linux.
The Asahi Linux project has announced plans to adjust their governance and funding to continue functioning with seven remaining developers: "Our priority is kernel upstreaming. Our downstream Linux tree contains over 1000 patches required for Apple Silicon that are not yet in upstream Linux. The upstream kernel moves fast, requiring us to constantly rebase our changes on top of upstream while battling merge conflicts and regressions. Janne, Neal, and marcan have rebased our tree for years, but it is laborious with so many patches. Before adding more, we need to reduce our patch stack to remain sustainable long-term. We cannot predict how the process will go, but we are committed to do our part." |
