From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

AFAIK, lina is a trans woman, so you might want to rephrase the alter ego part. Also, I do not understand the part that they "quit already". Do you mean that this dude started working on Apple GPU drivers then quit and then line picked it up? Why would that be a bad thing?
I don't think this is true, they showed up to an event in person... people would've noticed.
When?
Scroll through their mastodon, it's there somewhere, I'll look later if you can't find it
Someone might want to check that, because IIRC it was someone else's alter ego.
