     @itsfoss I think OS App Stores have at least a minor obligation to provide donation links for the FOSS thats being used, and maybe the Package Managers do too (after install show donation links?)

     Many Distros are built off stacks of FOSS software, the bare minimum to help app devs with funding would be appreciated.

     KDE prompting for donation rarely is reasonable imo, they've made lots of great software thats usable outside their ecosystem.
