- The main developer of Asahi Linux, Héctor Martin, resignation
- The intense requests and complaints of the community are responsible
- Martin loses a time when he could relax and not worry about the project
Héctor Martin has resigned as the leader of the project for Asahi Linux, a popular Linux distribution specifically designed for Mac-Macs of the M series, citing Burnout as the key controller.
Martin also said that the conflicts within the Linux community had led to their decision to resign, with the resistance of some Linux developers who join their workload.
In a long letter that notifies the community about its resignation, Martin explained that a personal “dream project”, which was once fun, has become a more important task.
ASAHI LINUX HEAD resignation
Martin detailed how he and his colleagues built the Apple Silicon Linux distribution “from scratch, with zero suppliers support or documentation”, recognizing that building this particular distribution was more difficult than executing Linux in a PS4, for example.
However, it seems that the real reason that Martin has decided to leave was what he has called “titled users”: over the years, the developer says he has received hundreds of requests and complaints related to the battery life , the USB -C visualization support and the next generation M -Serie Support Support.
He wrote: “No matter how much we did, how many impossible feats we achieved, people always wanted more. And more “.
Martin avoided exhaustion by limiting the amount of time in certain areas, such as the ascending nucleus, however, he reached the point that the development of Asahi Linux was interfering with his personal life.
Beyond users, Martin explained that, despite the fact that Linux’s creator, Linus Torvalds, expressed the desire for Linux to work without problems in the M MACs of the M series, the Finnish developer ignored Martin’s request to discuss the Operating system challenges.
He summed up: “I miss having free time in which I can relax and not worry about the characteristics that we have not yet sent,” confirming: “I am renouncing as lead of the ASAHI Linux project, immediately effective.”
At the end of his letter, Martin revealed that anyone who has supported him financially should consider supporting Asahi Linux OpenCollective from now on, and that he is open to a new job.
