Congrats to the elementary team: 10 years is something to celebrate. I remember they took some stick for changing the website such that one has to specifically enter 0 in order to download for nothing. But it seems like it's enabled them to fund the distro and the people who work on it. Without resorting to ads or data mining as the article notes. I suppose there'll still be those who criticise the design as a "dark pattern": there's no hint that says "hey, you can get this for nothing if you enter 0". That's true, but then it's all relative: I'd personally rather have that than the "HEY IT'S FREE!! (but you pay with your privacy)" so beloved of the ad tech world. I'm also biased, though, because I really like elementary. As an inveterate distro hopper, it's the one I keep coming back to. (And have donated annually to support it). So congrats again to the team: looking forward to v6.
