His two major complaints are demanding consumers and the rejection of upstreaming his rust driver patches. He has some legitimate complaints since users depend on kernel features like Mesa Integration and Docker support for GPUs, which are critical now that people are training & doing inference .

I still think the best outcome is to fork and recruit some lieutenants for community management. To me the community is losing a lot with his departure. His complaints are legitimate and hopefully linux kernel team can better accommodate his patches. many distros and corporations deliver tremendous value from their forks and it's a better solution than quitting.
