Does the author not know that Asahi Lina is Hector's vtuber alias? He writes as if they are two separate people.

Marcan hasn't actually resigned. He's still posting on the LKML under a well-known alias.

See https://lkml.org/lkml/2025/2/7/15 for example.

Marcan is still posting to the LKML as himself too and he said he might contribute patches in the future if he feels like it. What he did, and this entire thread is about, is he resigned as a maintainer:

https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/1b3291f00013c86a9bb...

So the title is factually correct. But I wouldn't be surprised if he tries to add Lina as a maintainer once things calm down.

I always enjoyed watching Marcan's streams. But I couldn't do Lina's, only because the high pitched voice changing was grating.

Is this the same person who has YouTube videos narrated by a cartoon Japanese schoolgirl?
