You seem to be mixing things here.  To go viral on what basis ?
Because this is the Linux Audio Users mailing list only ? So that
anything done with linux is all right ? As some kind of what statement ?

When I listen to something, I really am not looking to what synth was
used, which type and brand of guitar strings, which OS, or are the tubes
in the compressor really genuine 12AX7 or what.

Listening is without boundaries.  For example, when I listen to uKanDanZ
that I discovered a couple of days ago, I did not search for what they
use, and I will not rebuke them if they use Windows, Pro Tools and
Waves:

What for ?  This is not an activist statement.  AFAIC, I do not listen
much to music structured in repetitive songs, but do from time to time
and it has to be original.  It is not because I use Linux that I will
say that everything made with Linux is good.  This is absurd.

And likewise, I appreciate people liking the sounds I make and would
not like an army of sheep that twits it around so that eventually my
wallet can get bigger.  

Music is so much more than that.
