I have 100 euros a month to donate to open source projects. Do you think its better to donate more to fewer projects or less to more projects? (sh.itjust.works)

Smaller, recurring donations to several of the projects you use most often or whose purpose you most support is what I would do. You can browse for projects you might want to donate to from this list on codeberg or OpenCollective, or look for individual developers you want to support.

Personal recommendations: your Linux distribution and Fediverse instances of choice, LibreOffice, WireGuard, Archive.org, Anna’s Archive, Signal, KDE, Wikipedia.
