I finished a serene first person adventure game today called "Paradise Marsh". It has a great atmosphere and a nice art style. It could have had a deeper story and better save system but the overall game play is solid and enjoyable. It can be found on Itch DRM free and it has a native Linux version.

Two projects we love are currently running a crowdsource campaign. The modular Open Hardware laptop MNT Reform Next is up on Crowdsupply where you can support them by buying a T-shirt or treat yourself to an OH laptop in pre-sale. [1]
And the Pixelfed and Loops team is seeking backers to support the development of these federated social networks with no ads, no algorithms and no tracking. [2]

I have been gaming since 1992 and building PCs since 2003. I enjoy Linux, supporting FOSS projects and am a tinfoil hat connoisseur.
Many FOSS projects rely on donations. If you have money to spare but don't know which to donate to take a look at the above links on Ko-fi, Github, and Open Collective. Anything on there that I have sponsered or contributed to is something I have found to be worthy.
