to pick something with enough inertia to make people squirm:
If tomorrow Linus Torvalds came out as being an anti-trans Nazi, would that make you suddenly stop using Linux and every line of code he ever wrote?
How would you deal with that?
Is it ok to use a fork, or do you have to pivot away from Linux fully to feel ethical about it?

@feld No. Linux, the kernel is free software. We don't care about other kind of politics, only politics of software freedom. Also, I personally use a fork of Linux called, Linux-libre, since original Linux contains non free software in it.
