If you could donate $50,000 to three FOSS projects, who are you picking?I'm picking KDE, LineageOS, and Tuta.
>>107138580That UI design makes my eyes hurt
KDE, Debian, and KeepassXC.

Steam.Steam has done more for open source than anybody else.
Libre Office, 7zip, Notepad++. Why the fuck would i donate to anything else?

>>107138580KDE, KDE and ... uhh ... KDE
Racket (I want more optimized parallelism via places, many very interesting features are present, such as a built-in sandboxed execution model)PostgREST (automatic deployment of more than just REST APIs would be cool)RustCrypto (their umbrella of projects are very cool, and I would like to see more work be done)
>>107138580The tax deductible ones.
linuxmint, lindows, reactOS.its because they are alsomost finished products.it just need more gui support and less termainal for updates, drivers and lists of supported componets and steam and other gaming and cross licencing of x86 software.i think these have a very high chance of getting mainstream.problem is that linux uses are retardswhat ever.not your problem.

None, because they're all run by know-it-all publicly abusive assholes. Same reason I don't use Linux.
The Tuta website is pretty much everything I hate about modern web design.

Ladybird, XFCE and KeepassXC.
I would put $150,000 on OrganicMaps and their public transport bounty.If I can set up a new project to get started with this money, I would put it on an open source payment processor.

>>107158442Based and good answers. People love to hate on Flatpak but it unironically solves a huge issue with Linux and actually makes it usable in 2025.So many DEs have gone to shit but Xfce is still great after all these years. Debian is a distro I always come back to.
Three? If I was a multimillionaire I'd give 100k to each of these projects.XFCE because its the only DE on linux that works and I've used it for 5 yearsDebian because its the only OS that's worth using and has security updatesFlatpak because it's the only packaging system that is worth using cross linux OSXlibre because they continue to support and develop X11 on linux and keeping it updatedGeany because it's the best IDE and text editor that's no nonsense period on any OSHeroic Games Launcher because it's better than steam and FOSS AntimicroX because its the best controller remap software on any OS periodQbittorrent because its the best torrenting software to dateKeepass because its the best for making passwords on the computer safeLibreOffice because its the best alternative to microsharts online garbage, It's better and it's free for editing documentsMPV because its the best video player and audio playerffmpeg because its the best audio and video utils softwareerm yeah that's it
