Are cool and all, but don't forget to support other libre software who maintain most of the modern technologies.

Seriously, even proprietary crap (yes, I am aware videogames are the final proprietary frontier) depend completely on libre software.

Also, support foundations that help maintain digital rights and liberties. For example, EFF[eff.org], La Quadrature du Net[laquadrature.net] and the GNU Projet[gnu.org].

Thanks!

You just said 'schizophrenics' should be moderated and now you're suddenly about digital liberties?

Sure, but the kernel does not exist in a vacuum, and other projects and initiatives get a lot less attention.

Specially because of Microsoft's and other larger corporations deliberate decision to call the GNU (or GNU/Linux) operating system by the name of its kernel, and their decision to phrase Libre & Open Source Software only as "open source", in order to maintain a steril environment, without many other ideals that may come up when we talk about libre and public domain.

But by all means, support the kernel as well!

We can buy Krita and Blender @ Steam, which is an easy and familiar form to send money their way!
