  No. The person who quit upstream kernel work is Marcan, the head of the Asahi Linux project. The person who developed the kernel driver for M-series GPUs is Lina.

            There's nothing to joke about here. We're talking about a developer, and a persona they created. Yes, they haven't outwardly said they were one and the same but it's pretty obvious. There's nothing to joke about and no feelings to be hurt here.

                Hector's hostname in their shell is the same as Lina's (raider). The DNS for asahilina.net points to the same servers as marcansoft.com. Their KDE setups are oddly similar (the same). The list goes on. Is it circumstantial? Sure...

                  Not to mention, "Lina" coming out of nowhere to work on a highly technical and very nieche project that Hector is a major contributor of. If it quacks like a duck...

                  Luna comes across as unhinged and obsessive, in both public communications and in Lina's document detailing her experience with Luna (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1W2Vvwg0rwSVb5r4TQ_NmAF8SxIXAHPGEZnELgwS36yE https://docs.google.com/document/d/1W2Vvwg0rwSVb5r4TQ_NmAF8S...). As "Luna said so" is really the best you got, I'll keep viewing this claim as entirely unsubstantiated.

                    Luna is also the main developer of Inochi2D, the software used to animate Asahi Lina, and is acknowledged as the character's co-creator. Your ad-hominem attack on Luna aside, do you really think Luna would not know who Asahi Lina is? Who do you think Hector worked with in order to have "Asahi Lina" appear on his stream? The first line of your Google document, written by "Asahi Lina", confirms it straight up: > Unfortunately, on August 1st, Luna publicly: Doxxed me with a real-world identity You should verify that reference for yourself, archives of what Luna said are readily available on the internet. I can confirm that what Luna said on August 1st, 2024, is the same thing she's saying today: Hector Martin is Asahi Lina. The dossier corroborates Luna's claims. (Also, what kind of person has a dossier ready to go if their contributor goes rogue? A controlling and manipulative person, that's who.) We don't know who "Jia Tan" is, nor "Jigar Kumar", but we know that the person, or group of people behind these identities and others, used sockpuppetry to bully Andres Freund into giving them control over xz-utils, and we know what they did with that access. Even if pseudonyms are accepted, there should be zero tolerance for sockpuppetry in the Linux Kernel. If Hector Martin quits (https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20250207-rm-maint-v1-1-10f069a24f3d@marcan.st/ https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20250207-rm-maint-v1-1-10f069a2...), the personas/pseudonyms/avatars/characters of Hector Martin should quit too, but "Asahi Lina" continues to post on LKML.

    Not sure why my comment was flagged, but marcan is Asahi Lina. There is demonstrable proof in threads all over this comment section.
