    Both deserve our attention and donations, please don’t try to divert people from one important FOSS project to another.

      90% of distros could vanish tomorrow and nothing of value would be lost. Without the software they are packaging, the ecosystem would vanish.

        Without distros there would be no Linux desktop ecosystem to begin with. Also who’s to say what true value is?

        Every distro comes with people who don’t just maintain their own stuff, but contribute to the whole ecosystem. It doesn’t need to be a Debian or Arch to be worth something.

        So again, please don’t start bickering about what’s most important. It all got its place, and someone calling for donations for good thing A does not undermine good thing B. All good things need attention.
