OSHWA can't exist without support from people like you! Today we are launching a merch fundraiser with an incredible design from artist Jess Hannigan that will help us keep going. You can snag your own tee/hoodie/v-neck right here: https://www.customink.com/fundraising/oshwa
Mobile operating system /e/ OS has been updated to version 2.2. This update adds a parental control feature, improves calender customization, blocks 800 more trackers, adds bug fixes for a variety of devices, and more. /e/ OS is a deGoogled OS based on LineageOS. They currently support 250 devices and have a graphical installer. You can also purchase devices from their Murena store which come preinstalled with /e/ OS if you want an even easier time getting the OS on a phone. They use the BlissLauncher desktop and use the Ext 4 file system. It's a good option for someone looking to move away from Google but still needs a user friendly Android based OS that cares about privacy.

If you wish to support the project financially they accept donations through Paypal, Patreon, and Bitcoin:
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.
