A comment on Apple M3 Ultra. Parent comment

Your wording makes it sound like it was a one-man show. Asahi has a really strong contributor base, new leadership[1], and the backing of Fedora via the Asahi Fedora Remix. While Hector resigning is a loss, I don't think it's a death knell for the project.

He was the lead developer and very prominent figure. I think it probably boils down to funding the new developments.

By what grounds do you make this statement?

My understanding is there are dozens of people working on it.

e: I'm removing this comment because on reflection I think it is probably some form of doxxing and being right on the internet isn't that important.

You believe that Hector Martin is also Asahi Lina?

yes, i do. if that's not true, i will certainly concede it's not a one person show

my understanding was this was an open secret though, seems pretty obvious to anyone with technical knowhow who watches their videos

I thought this was confirmed a couple years ago.

Regardless of whether this is true, there is a lot of other Asahi developers. This fact alone is immaterial.
