RIP Asahi Linux.
Fuck off to all the fascists ruining OSS.
What fascists are ruining OSS?
Guessing it's because Lina is queer. A little bit ago, I was trying to find what was going on and found a bunch of bigoted comments and conspiracy theories about her and her girlfriend(maybe wife now?).

This is the worst way how to announce something like this.
I don't know the context, but if the goal was to not start a wave of speculations, it would be better to simply not hint at anything. I wonder what happened, and I respect if they don't want to deal with it, but this does feel weird.
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).
Maybe the goal was to spur speculation, but I don’t know how that would benefit anyone. I’m curious if any additional info will come to light.
It's basically vaguebooking.
I no longer feel safe
Please don’t make assumptions
Yeah wtf is that. If there are reasons to feel unsafe that arent just entirely individual, then you should tell other people that might be in danger. If its entirely individual, then state that so that other people wont be worried about their safety.
Damned right I read that and thought "It's your first day on the internet?"
There is a small match lit in the floor it will probably snuff out itself but just to be sure let's put it out with gasoline
Wild. All I wanna do now is make assumptions. 🤣
Most of it was pretty much said in the previous announcement from the Asahi leadership. The TL:DR is that people are incredibly entitled, support took a huge downturn, but demands kept rising, and allegedly there have been numerous personal attacks on people. The Linux project leadership drama was just the whipped cream on top of the cake
