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.

      They have both met hostility upstream in Linux kernel and have been an active target of the extremist site KiwiFarms

    For some more information, Lina was doxed and harassed last year.

    She says that no one knows why she quit, so I’d doubt this is the reason, but it’s good context.

    This is why it’s open source from the manufacturer or nothing at all. These reverse engineer hacker projects are ill fated.
