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.

it was pretty close to a one man show


By what grounds do you make this statement?

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

You believe that Hector Martin is also Asahi Lina?

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.
