Asahi Linux Lead Resigns Amidst Burnout and Community Conflict
2025-02-14
Hector Martin, project lead of Asahi Linux, resigned due to developer burnout, demanding users, and Linus Torvalds' handling of Rust integration into the Linux kernel. Martin criticized Torvalds' lack of support and accused the Linux community of hypocrisy and malicious attacks. He cited Torvalds' poor leadership in handling Rust integration, leading to abuse of power by maintainers. This highlights the growing issue of developer burnout and community conflict in open source, and the need for sustainable funding for open source projects.
