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.

Does anybody know why there was such a huge influx in December?
KDE Plasma got a once-a-year notification that asks for donations a few months ago, which shows up in December.
They showed a once per year notification which reminds people they can donate.
I think the donation notification works
I hope the conclusion is that annual notifications work.
wikipedia is too much.
They had an end of year fundraiser for people to adopt an app: https://kde.org/fundraisers/yearend2024/
