I financially support Patrick Volkerding, because his original business model (selling physical installation media) collapsed, the online shop he partnered with to sell merchandise fucked him over and he was forced to move back home to Minnesota for financial reasons. Yet he still keeps hanging on and maintaining one of the most unique Linux distros that exist, and the only one I vibe with.
Which distro is that? Sounds interesting
Slackware, I think
Slackware
