    Imma be straight up. Donations are cool but not a lot of people give donations. partly because some are skint (i used to be) but mainly because people just don’t know.

    i feel like the biggest issue that foss projects face is the fact that they don’t ask for donations in a way that the average user knows about. Kde sends a notification around christmas asking for donos. I haven’t seen any other foss app do anything similar.

        I understand that but think about it. As a Linux user, i don’t go to dowload pages. I simply apt install or pacman -S or change my configuration.nix. I will never see that donate button unless I go to the project’s page.

          I go to my favorite software’s pages from time to time to see what they’re up to. Also, there are a few pieces that I have to visit the site for news when a non-free dependancy updates.
