Good for Elementary. I hope they get some lasting positive attention / support as a silver lining from any backlash they get from this from the hate hog tourists.

I haven’t got that much interest in using ElementaryOS myself these days, as I don’t think they have the resources to keep up with the big players (and I’m not their target audience). But I really appreciate their past efforts in making Linux more attractive, simpler and more fully featured for gui only users. A lot of what they ancomplished and pioneered has either been up streamed or widely copied and I think it’s made the whole of Linux better for it. I am a fan of theirs and hope the project has good days ahead of it.
