Where do you put the money, and how much goes to each recipient?Bonus points: Why?I'll start:>500 million US dollarinos to Debian, under the condition that they absorb core devs from the MX Linux project, make Xfce the default DE, and fully integrate init diversity on Debian ISOs for the next 10 years, while contributing substantial resources to improving and maintaining Xorg.>500 million to Canonical, under the condition that they resume vigorous development of Unity, make it the default DE on Ubuntu ISOs for the next 10 years, and contribute substantial resources to improving and maintaining Xorg.>125 million to Linux Mint in exchange for completely moving over from an Ubuntu base to LMDE>125 million to Mageia (no conditions)>125 million to PCLOS (no conditions)>125 million to Haiku (to release something production ready that provides hardware acceleration for AMD and Intel iGPUs, and can run on most PC hardware released over the past 15 years)
2 billion to Openshot.
I'd use the whole 2billy to find some AI experts and model trainers and use it to train a text to video model on the entire EvilAngel catalog
>>108797404Respectable choice. Great software.
>>108797353Krita
>>108797353KDE + XFCE = KFCE?
>>108797353Donate 1 billion to OpenBSD and 750 million to OpenZFS so that OpenBSD finally gets ZFS support
i move it all into an offline bitcoin wallet and flee to Brunei
>>108797353all of it goes to foss projects headed by oldfags on 4chan. i would troll this board for about a year quietly datamining people and getting them to organize an actually useful project. then i would donate the required 1.5 billion dollars to this project. in general, i think i would be a great recipient of this and have some great ideas for said project, but really theres a lot of need right now that will never see use in any of the foundations you are referring to.Of the pre-existing ones if you must have them I would donate to ladybird and nothing else.
>>108797353Looks like you trained your LLM on old data
>>108797540Exactly. Xfce + KWin was actually pretty popular back in the day.
>>108797564Huh?
>25 million to GCC to defeat the Apache 2.0 psyop, as well as improve build times (ideally through better use of plain GNU Make)>10 million to QBE on the condition that the codebase never adopt anything other than standard C99 and platform-specific assembler>10 million to 9front>10 million to openbsd>10 million to netbsd, plus 5 million to put exclusively towards maintenance of legacy and obscure hardware>10 million to Illumos to unify with OpenZFS and investigate a potential replacement for event ports, perhaps something closer to io_uring>5 million to reactos>5 million to haiku>5 million to D>5 million to Open Watcom maintainers>5 million to v2ray>5 million to xray>5 million to i2p>3 million to yggdrasil>3 million to mpv>2 million to jellyfin to develop an mpv-based client for apple and android tv>2 million to GNOME, exclusively to put towards Epiphany / GNOME Web; it'd be nice to have a viable open-source WebKit browser with WebExtensions.>2 million to netsurf on the condition that the codebase remain in C>2 million to libtorrent (rasterbar) to put towards maintenance and modern asynchronous I/O>1 million to cosmopolitan>1 million to t2sde>1 million to tinycc>750K to nexusphp>750K to quickjs-ng>500K to vapoursynth>500K to libass>350K to libplacebo>100K to fiwixsorry i forgot how much 2 billion is
A giant sum of money to gallery-dl because of that retarded DCMA claim that that fucking cunt diaz recently filed against them.
>>108797597best postlove you>>108797563you too, because of your schizoid filename
>>108797353I donate 100% of it to Gentoo.Install Gentoo.
Find popular projects without AGPL license, ideally cuck or mitOffer up to 2mil depending on user base to recreate or relicense and maintain an AGPL version
2 billion to my own FOSS hobby project>>108797900this is also funny
>>108797781its a blog standard snowclone meme though
>>108797353Can you put 3k into FOSS games? I want to be able to make a server in Xonotic without port forwarding and want to see it on Steam. I want more music in all the games. I want better art in Wesnoth.
>>108797353>450 million to debian + 450 million to arch, for them to fuse. Resulting in LTS-Enterprise, ~6month release cycle (fedora like) and rolling for testing (Arch).>10x 10 million for popular forks to stop their work entirely or work together on Debiarch.>100 million to hire a bunch of devs to work on GIMP, to make it equal to PS.>100 million to hire a bunch of devs to work on Libreoffice and stop popular forks>100 million to KDE, have them full time on Debiarch for an LTS and Rolling release.>100 million to GrapheneOS>100 million to Wayland / KDE devs to make it 100% compatible "just werks">100 million to a fully hardware open source Printer Company>100 million to RISC-V development>100 million to ARM development on Linux>100 million to F-droid>100x 1 million to various small Github FOSS devs
>>108797353Probably to projects that have to catch up to their proprietary counterparts to make people switch to a libre system. Like office suites, cad programs, photo/video editors and probably wine so even if people need to use a niche proprietary windows program, they can easily do so on GNU/Linux.
>>108797597>Apache 2.0 psyopqrd?>10 million to QBElol lol lol. This shit is astroturfed a thousand more times more than it deserves.
>>108797353I give it all to Jia Tan
Everything related to functional programming. Restore the timeline.
Start my own project and embezzle 99% of the funds as is standard business practice
>>108797353There are few in the way of open source projects worth giving the time of day to. Can I start up some new ones?
