If so, how do you choose which ones to donate to? Do you prefer regular or recurring donations? What payment methods do you like to use?

Yes I have setup recurring donations for some projects that really do ease up and save me so much time, although I don’t think that this should be the way to keep OSS projects alive at the end of day.

If we let it companies will outsource this responsibility to us, even when often in the current economy they are the biggest profiteers from OSS and adjacent projects.

I donate to neovim and endeavour os, I would also donate to awesome / whatever tiling manager I currently use as it just saves me so much time (and literal pain in my case by reducing the use of the mouse).

These people are doing great job in maintaining systems that are easy to use, fast and very customizable, making actually using my computer enjoyable as opposed to the slow, non accessible, bloated UIs from other OSs
