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.

well thats unfortunate. Personally I'd rather click away one message per year while knowing I donate 40 euros every quarter than having the project die or degrade in the long run.
I think if you complain, you should contribute(either through effort or donation) to make such pop ups unnesseccary.
KDE Plasma albeit a bit bloated in default state is freaking amazing and getting better with every update.
Enjoy whatever DE you Like and complain as you like but just complaining is not going to fix Problems
I've contributed to various projects when I had money, but this would probably make me less likely to do so if I were a user. It's unquestionably true that some people "hate pop-ups and this is going to turn them off" and I am among them.
