You've reached the end!
Not only that, DigitalOcean cancelled their $50 a month sponsorship to GNOME and Flatpak.
To put this in perspective, it would take 5,000 years for GNOME and Flatpak to reach the $3M figure DigitalOcean has given to Omarchy.
How does this make any sense?

CachyOS is No1 the last three months and is LLM friendly. Debian is the underlying OS for a bunch of distros and its more popular.
The donations are 100% budy-budy and rich kids rubbing shoulders. Nothing else / more than that.
That said, it’s their money. They use it as they please. At the same time, trying to see everything through capitalistic lenses is sort of myopic IMO.
2. Companies, or rather mostly CEOs donating are the usual circle of questionable characters where you can just search for "why is (name) problematic".
They're basically buddies donating to DHH not the project. The only ones that make sense are the tokens from AI companies to be used in actual development.
Gnome has lots of issues that still need to be fixed. Even if you're happy with it, you could find something on the bugtracker that you'd really like addressed. It's basically like seeing a house being built by a big crew, then someone completely unrelated painting the front doors and getting paid more than all of them and credited for the house as a whole.
