If so, how do you choose which ones to donate to? Do you prefer regular or recurring donations? What payment methods do you like to use?

I use monero to pay for services i use

Mullvad

For the projects that don't accept monero I use Libre pay

Why briar of all projects doesn't accept monero I will never know....

I tried to drink the Kool-Aid, I have to use the ecosystem if I want to support the ecosystem, if I want it to grow. The same reason I'm using lemmy

If you want to see options I recommend https://monerica.com/#non-profits

Qubes is so cool. The most under-rated Linux distro imo. Not my daily driver but a very cool concept.

Yes! They're my kind of crazy.

I run it on one of my machines all the time. I'd say after about 3 weeks it's totally usable, you get used to the quirks. Framework is such a good pairing with qubes.
