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.

It's not just about rust, it's also just that there's a lot of tech debt in the linux kernel just from the design, they don't change a lot because they don't want to mess anything up, redox has been able to learn from all of that.

rust is also an awesome tool for writing OS's however
