I ask out of respect the the devs that make our wonderful distros we love so much:

Have you donated to them and their work?

If there's not enough money to make you give it up, how much are you willing to give to keep it alive?

I'm a patron for Nobara. GE has earned the cash.

I always donate. With every new release. My rule is to give an offering to the gods that make all this possible every time I do a git pull. ;-).

Especially things like mastodon and lemmy.
