From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I want to support pharonix but damn, chill out ob the ads. Especially the video overlays on mobile. It is unusable without an ad blocker, while at the same time saying they are ad supported.
I would like to help, but ouch.
If you're from the EU you can just reject all cookies and all ads disappear.
Premium subscription is ad free, It's easy to judge but maybe that's what he needs to do to make a decent income.
But yeah some financial transparency would be nice, maybe have a fundraiser where raising X amount of money would make it ad free.
