<-- CONTINUED FROM ABOVE --> Regardless of solo effort or team, at least a sufficient percentage of the users of the project DO need to support the work, just as with any other notable projects like Linux Mint (Ubuntu of course has a well known corporation backing them). Without question the Linux Mint devs depend on the donations (now quite respectable amounts) each and every month to keep going. The Linux Mint blog gives a quite detailed statement regularly (monthly?) about who donated, the total amount received, and so on.
Linux Mint is a world-renowned project and has a good flow of such support, due millions of users by now for sure. Whereas this project SavOS (based on the first three letters of my own name, evidently) is just “starting out”. Even though there has been 2.5 years getting it to this point, a consistent effort on my part as I do truly want it to flourish, and to serve the needs of a greater and greater number of people who for whatever reasons like and choose to run older hardware and/or operating system versions than the “latest” and often not “greatest”. That’s a good amount of candid commentary from the creator of the project, myself, for the public record. It’s not that I’m ever “giving up” and I’m always ready to continue and do even more. But this is dependent on a percentage of the community of the people who are using the software that I’ve been uploading (and who DO have the ability to do so) being willing to provide more real actual donation-level support in a regular fashion such that I CAN keep doing this work regularly, and don’t have to go and get some other silly and meaningless (to me) “day job” just to eat! ~Rob </non-bug-topic> -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1965181 Title: ffmpeg: FFmpeg 5.0 (ppa:savoury1/ffmpeg5) uninstallable -- plus general SavOS discussion To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/savos/+bug/1965181/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
