At least I don’t need to pay for freeware. Last I checked, the cost of Windows was included in my laptop and I didn’t get the option to not install an OS even though I fully intended to install Linux on it.

Good for them. Hope more follow suit.

Cool, gave it a look. Didn’t know the firewall settings page came about because of collaboration with them. Didn’t see anything about funding, but I hope they are.

I’ve seen at least one article of Valve funding some work on kwin for a short time, but nothing of them funding the actual desktop. Do you know of any sources for that?
