Hellwig is the maintainer of the DMA subsystem. Hellwig previously blocked rust bindings for DMA code, which in part resulted in Hector Martin from stepping down as a kernel maintainer and eventually Asahi Linux as a whole.

    Actual Linux news rather than “which distro should I use for gaming and bit torrents?”

      New people don’t realize that Linux is really a soap opera with a small software project attached.

        That’s not to say any other OS effort is not also a soap opera. I bet Microsoft has its fair share of drama, too; it’s just that no one sees it because the development effort is proprietary.
