I've got some great Linux swag from Ubuntu Korea, but I've been looking to buy new clothes lately and would love to rock more FOSS.

I see a couple websites that sell FOSS branded clothing, but does anyone have good experience buying high quality hats/tshirts/sweaters/active wear from any of these online retailers? Bonus points if the retailers donate proceeds to development

Happy with the quality of the black tshirt I got here. Not thin plastic stuff.

If only they sold coffee mugs! Every time I look somewhere for swag, even if they do have coffee mugs, they're just these diddly little 10 oz things--not big enough for this coffee achiever!

Try a v60 with 30g in a 10oz cup, I think you'll be right for the morning

Switch to high-test coffee.

Actually, full disclosure, I have to water down the coffee Mrs. Erinaceus makes, otherwise I'm risking heart palpitations and panic attacks, hence the need for a larger mug. Hmmm...I wonder if I could somehow learn to make the coffee myself... 🤔

There’s always cafepress. But none of the money goes to the places you’re wanting.

  1. I can afford good clothes now
  2. High quality clothes last a long time
  3. Having a Ubuntu shirt is a good conversation starter
  4. I would rather have a Tux logo than a Nike one
  5. Giving 5$ to KDE makes gives me the false sense of real contribution to the project

Not OP, but pure donations lack the "spread the word" aspect of wearing an advert on a shirt.

[-] Psyhackological@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah but on the other hand infrastructure costs and they need money to pay developers and so on. Using FOSS is cool and all but it's not cheap and free of charge - at least developing it that is.

[-] 404@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 year ago

Surely spreading the word would increase total donations?

[-] Psyhackological@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Spreading the word about the software or that you should donate because they need it? 1st no 2nd yes

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.
