I changed to this on my laptop as a result of the same article. I like
Spinfinity better, I think it better reflects that I'm running Fedora.
In some sense it's not even comparable to Charge which doesn't even
use the word Fedora, rather only very briefly at the tail end does the
Fedora logo appear. Changing to Spinfinity seems like a really minimal
effort and uncontroversial change to get a lot of bang in branding.

One odd "problem" though is that getting this theme seems rather
non-deterministic. Sometimes it appears. Sometimes it doesn't. I have
no idea why. I know it's baked into the initramfs, but I'm always
picking the same boot entry in GRUB with the same boot params. I'm
gonna guess it's some kind of race, due in part to boot times being so
short on this laptop, plymouth starts at 1.4s into boot.
