KDE has been the most used DE in the Arch space since 2019 and kept growing, totally deserved BTW.

Germany gets a lot of shit for things they do poorly, but should be proud of both KDE, and the Sovereign Tech Fund.
I also think it's worth reflecting on just how much stuff KDE gets done with so little money. I dropped them 50€ yesterday, and would encourage people to do the same: https://kde.org/community/donations/previousdonations/
I think KDE was better in the past. With its "wayland-only" future it will leave behind several linux users.

So the donation daemon worked. Though, if they now have so much money, why would you recommend more money to KDE and not other projects? Why not xserver https://github.com/X11Libre/xserver or gtk2-ng https://git.devuan.org/Daemonratte/gtk2-ng? Granted, these have fewer users, but there should be more diversity among those receiving funding.
I also donate a small part of my monthly income, but I don't feel a need to say where to or nudge others to do the same. It would not make any difference to me personally if Joe donates to abc or xyz.

Maybe some Jolla sponsoring as well?
