What would have the biggest impact? I know almost nothing about this but if I spend a 100€ I'd want it to have the best downstream effect so I would think donating to the Linux foundation would have the biggest impact because so many other open and closed source projects benefit from it.

None because I'm a freeloader

>>28078 For sure not the Linux Foundation. They represent what the constituent megacorporations want out of Linux. They don't even care if their members violate the GPL because their interest isn't what the "Linux ecosystem" wants, but what their corporate members want. I think it's best to donate to small organizations where a little money goes a long way. Mozilla is doing good work, but they have hundreds of millions. KDE is doing good work, and they don't have a lot of money. I have worked on KDE so I'm biased

https://ladybird.org/ - a bit disappointing that they're planning on using Swift, but seems the most promising of the non-Google or Mozilla browser alternatives.

>>28105 >I have worked on KDE so I'm biased Noice! Thank you and the KDE team for hard and great work! I'm more of a XFCE guy but I like it on my Steam Deck and Bazzite machine.

thunderbird and android (commercial software) are the only ones of those that i use

>>28184 You're not limited to the FOSS of that pic

Some FOSS software I like to use and would donate to: uBlock Origin (sadly the developer doesn't accept donations) mpv VLC yt-dlp ffmpeg Linux Mint Tubular

I would donate to mozilla even though I hate them.

The fact that gimp became some kind of standard graphics editor for Linux distros is insane, it shows that people never use gimp, gimp is horrible, the interface is terrible and I remember testing it for the printing industry around 2015 and not even its black and white was accurate (the color and tone accuracy of gimp is lacking). Krita is way better.

>>28112 I'm pretty sure that Andreas Kling is back on the good old cocainum. He made a video where he wore sunglasses because of "a cold" and had a twitchy face and demeanor, the opposite of typical sick people.

>>28182 t. hanks

>>28386 Why don't you donate to the extension developers instead?

hydrus network

>>30166 Fuck off Jim

Probably Blender and Natron.

Firefox, because I'm using it for like 20 years now. Same with Thunderbird.

>>30184 >Natron Good shit for baking

wikipedia but unironically

>>28105 Where do I have to donate to improve linux gaming?

>>30206 If you're using Steam that'd probably count nowadays. They do the majority of linux gaming improvements

>>30205 Wikipedia gets shit on way more than it deserves tbh. Some of the problems are legit but it's been overall a force for good amongst the massive corporate shittery of recent years online

>>30219 I would lack lots of knowledge, if Wikipedia didn't exist

I've donated to Mint

NetBSD and buildroot. I use both. Both are underfundet.

KeepassXC among other projects already mentioned here.

>>30219 Wikipedia pays about 5% of what they get from donations for hosting. A few weeks ago, Jimbo (multi-millionaire) got butthurt and left an interview (Jung&Naiv) because he was introduced as the co-founder of wikipedia. Yep, sounds like a good org to donate your money to.

>>28112 Yeah, I guess they're choosing swift because they want Mac/iOS to be the first-class platform for ladybird. That's were most of the money is if you want to bring a browser to corporations and developer type people. Honestly, I feel that this move is rather shortsighted and they would benefit much more in the long-run if they turned Ladybird into its own platform. As far as I know, swift is only used for UI stuff. I hope the core stuff stays unadulterated from Apple platform slop.

>>30189 A blender is good too for baking.

ublock origin bypass paywalls vlc

>>30217 They destroyed Linux gaming. Now modern garbage that isn't worth playing works, but good games don't because they've been breaking them.

>>30219 Wikipedia doesn't get enough shit. They have those extremely vast amounts of money (compared to other charities) and don't spend it to actually work on the platform. There are so many ideas about what could be done to improve both the dataset and software, but not only has everything been stagnating for a decade, they don't even manage to exploit the stuff that's already there (e.g. Wikidata).

>>30828 What do they spend it on?

>>30831 About 800 staff (if you include Wikimedia Germany, which is a second entity that rakes in additional donations), sponsored programs (mostly about diversity) and external services. Among these 800 people there are just a handful of server admins, hardly any software developers and zero Wikipedia moderators, but many, many, many management roles with strange titles.

>>30824 >good games don't because they've been breaking them. That seems like an extraordinary claim that needs extraordinary evidence. What are you talking about?

>>30844 I'm talking about compatibility with older Windows bitrotting over the past 10 years. And since there aren't any good new games and plenty of good old games, that means old games are bitrotting.

>>30845 BG3 is new and good.

>>30845 You could theoretically use older Wine releases, but yeah...

>>28071 this picture is 10 years old >wordpress >joomla >magento all too old now mariaDB is opensource, MySQL isn't I don't think we will have more opensource stuff anymore.

>>30999 > I don't think we will have more opensource stuff anymore. i feel like the opposite is happening.

>>30845 >And since there aren't any good new games You should play Silksong or Beyond All Reason or Labyrinth of the Demon King or Nightreign when you have friends or Elden Ring if you don't

>>31144 > Beyond All Reason is there a bottin community? looks interesting.
