I'm pleased to finally be recognized for not only creating the first gay app store, but doing so before the release date of the highly anticipated gta6, the first gay video game! 🥂 May bazaar continue to cause much discomfort to this goofball and many more just like them!

Corporations aren’t lining up to throw millions at GNOME (there are a few more modest tiers if your company is interested!). Most of the support comes from individuals like you. If a few thousand folks became Friends of GNOME today, that would be huge for the sustainability of the Linux ecosystem!

Friends of GNOME directly support the open source stack that many Linux-based operating systems depend on. They enable GNOME to pay individual contributors to work on critical and under-resourced areas of the project through the fellowship program.
