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.

Well. What were the options? Stopping without saying anything? Lying? I think this is better. Sure I'll speculate. Bit I'll keep it for myself

Don't tease gossip? Either say "I'm quitting due to personal reasons" or give actual details "I'm quitting because I received ongoing abuse about being trans on X from several users and I'm fed up with it" (or whatever the reason was; I just guessed that).
