    Goalpost moving fuck.

    Not there to make a profit? Then why the fuck do all of the major distros have donation pages, and shops, and foundations, and all of the other things that generate money for a handful of people? Stop fucking acting like mainstream Linux distros are still Slackware equivalent one-man operations. That’s horseshit and you fucking know it.

      To help for whatever, but they’re donations, not selling you anything, not there for profit.

      shops, and foundations, and all of the other things that generate money for a handful of people?

      Not every distro, not even every mainstream distro, has this. And not every one of these things is necessarily there to make a profit over being a simple donation.

      If you think accepting donation necessarily means wanting to make a profit then you might not be the brightest star in the sky
