Donate to GNOME. NOW.

I donated to KDE instead.

Usecase for keeping Gnome alive?

I thought they got big donations from big corporations? where's the money

>>105714144
Use case for knowing where the money went?

Notice that ChromeOS, the only commercially successful Linux desktop doesn't use Gnome and rolls their own Windowing system.

Thousands of dollars spent on DEI slop while actually useful projects are maintained for free by people who can barely pay their rent.

Who does the money even go to? Do they distribute it proportionally to the number of git commits?

I haven't used a DE in years but KDE Connect is my most used app on my phone

Yet i suspect they payed a designer for that strange picture.

I will donate 100k if they remove the troons

What makes you think benefiting as user is a metric?

What if GNOME existence is detrimental to my life (and many others?). How can we deduct funding from the project?

You should never ever donate to any of these big open source projects. No matter what they may imply, your money absolutely will go to DEI woke tranny faggotry. Firefox does it, KDE does it, GNOME obviously does it, etc. It will never be used to hire/pay programmers to work on the actual product.

>>105714097
You should not have. See: >>105714701

KDE does

>>105714701
Trannyfox 100%. Same with Glowiepedia. Gnome is probably 50/50. I think KDE is legit though. Some of their programmers are probably troons but they actually do work,

Maybe they should stop spending so much on anti-x11 shills

Why would any individuals donate to corporate backed projects?

>>105714198
>donating to fix the krashes... le bad

>>105714092 (OP)
That's wonderful news, I hope they'll completely run out of money.

>>105714092 (OP)
i donated to kde then stopped using it and went to cinnamon. maybe i should donate to mint

>>105714144
And Germany said they were public infrastructure (what about the rest of whatever makes up the other Linux distros?), shouldn't that entitle them to an infinite amount of money?

>>105714092 (OP)
They need a new marketing campaign. I have some ideas...

lmao

>>105714701
The actual reason you shouldn't donate is because most of these projects are already well-off from major companies paypigging for them. For example, Mozilla is guaranteed to be solvent forever because Google needs for Firefox to keep existing to avoid monopoly charges.

I imagine these days Wikipedia gets direct funding from all the AI companies that use its data in their learnsets. But before that, it was known for many years that the Wikimedia foundation got enough from donations and grants to where they could operate for many years without needing to panhandle as hard as they do.

No thanks.

I use LMDE anyways and I prefer cinnamon.

I have donated over $2000 so far ever since I started using GNOME with the GNOME 40 release.

I was planning to purchase a new laptop this year but after seeing this, I have changed my mind. All the money I was saving up from my McDonalds job for a new laptop, I will donate it all to GNOME instead.

GNOME is my life.
