From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I think I'd rather just be a good community member and remind people to donate, and that it's the cool and right thing to do as a FOSS user.

I think the yearly once or maybe a yearly twice is good enough imo

Nate Graham is hesitant increase the frequency. When the feature was announced, he repeatedly emphasized it a was a single year popup. He doesn't want to go back on his word.

And what about us that already give yearly if not more, you want us to register to not have it? Or just get this spam for reasons?

But it's the big releases that have the most bugs and UX breakage
