Sadly there are many people in the open source community who don’t care, to them if the software is good then it doesn’t matter who the artist is.

Specifically with the Linux community I feel like it’s half queer people and half middle aged men and the other half often doesn’t care and likely lean right wing or libertarian anyway.

openSUSE tumbleweed changed to using it and I think it works well.
