Honestly same, BUT if those 8M go towards financing Linux desktop projects I'm all for it.

Depends where that funding goes towards, a lot of far right grifters in the linux sphere hate many projects in the linux desktop ecosystem (freedesktop, xorg, systemd, gnome, kde)

See for example Lundukes "Woke Software" list
