And my recommendation of KDE as opposed to GNOME was because I think it is more similar to the experience someone would have coming from Windows, not necessarily related to any problems with gaming

As do I! I have been a Fedora GNOME user for the past three years now, and I love it. Gaming won't necessarily be impacted by using Fedora as opposed to Bazzite, after all Bazzite is just Fedora with some stuff on top. And that's my point: if you are a more advanced user then you'll appreciate not having those things on top and being able to customize your system more to your liking, and be aware of what things you're installing because you're doing it manually (as opposed to having them bundled with the system), but those things will make the experience smoother for a newcomer who's afraid of making the jump, as OP is. Because yes, having pre-installed drivers, pre-installed compatibility layers and a set-up dialog when you first boot the system that allows you to install all basic software will make it easier, even if it's not needed. Plus, Bazzite is atomic, which Fedora isn't, and therefore harder to break (or rather, easier to repair, by just returning to the last working image, which should be as easy as selecting it on start-up)

If you do ANY gaming at all: Bazzite KDE

If you don't: Fedora KDE

The Eastern South Slavic languages (namely Bulgarian and Macedonian) are distinct from all the other Slavic languages in that they do have definite articles (and don't use grammatical cases)

May I ask what the money paid for exactly? Here in Spain it's only meds that we would pay for (and not even if you're low income and entitled to government money), everything else is 100 % free

AFAIK every function of NoScript exists in uBlock Origin. So just get uBO and cut the redundancy. The less vectors the better

Igual te interesa echarle un ojo a postmarketOS. Están haciendo un sistema operativo para teléfonos forkeado directamente de Alpine Linux, en vez de AOSP

 

Hello, I started donating to my favourite open-source projects a couple years ago, but stopped about 6 months ago for different reasons and wanted to get back into it.

I wanted to ask if anyone here has a set system or process they follow when donating

  • How much money do you donate? A set amount, whatever you feel like, a percentage of your earnings?

  • When do you donate? Whenever you remember, on the first of the month, Thursdays?

  • Do you have a minimum donation amount?

  • How do you decide what projects to support? Do you forego donations if you've contributed in other ways? Do you keep a list?

  • Do you donate to all equally or do you have some sort of ranking? Is it by amount of use, subjective preference, something else?

  • What platforms do you prefer using? Liberapay, Opencollective, Patreon, ko-fi, Paypal, Monero, actual post?

So far the system I've devised for myself would go something like:

  • put 2 % of all my earnings, whatever they are, in a separate account
  • every quarter (on the first of January, April, July and October) donate the full amount of money in the account (with a minimum of 5 €, so as not to lose a big amount in fees)
  • keep a ranked list of projects that I've used or deemed important or promising in the last three months (projects I donated to recently go to the bottom of the list), things at the top get more money than things at the bottom
  • prioritise Liberapay since it's open-source itself
