Fireship’s vid spreading the Linux desktop to 500k+ viewers is huge! I don't use this distro myself, but I still cheer for anything that helps motivate Windows users to make the switch.

Just like changing the name to "main" didn't achieve anything. Words have multiple definitions. The definition that git's usage is based on is: an original movie, recording, or document from which copies can be made. "the master tape" synonyms: original, archetype, prototype This shouldn't have been "problematic" either way. It's just all virtue signals.
