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.

If you think you know what happened or the context, you probably don't. Please don't make assumptions. Thank you.

I'm safe physically, but I'll be taking some time off in general to focus on my health.

Well that's sudden.

WTF? Is somebody threatening her for working on open source drivers???

What is this fucking timeline...

Edit: ohhhhh...there seems to be a LOT of underlying stuff happening here. Like Lina is an anime alter-ego of Marcan I guess? So confused...

These talking points about identity originated from kiwi farms.

It's this kind of weird unhealthy speculation that gets people to step down.

I'd not perpetuate it.
