Recently there's a lot of debate over what exactly a FOSS developer would want to have.
Such as the case of this article right here: https://thenewstack.io/ffmpeg-to-google-fund-us-or-stop-sending-bugs/
This article right here says that "The fundamental problem remains that the FFmpeg team lacks the financial and developer resources to address a flood of AI-created CVEs."
And this seems to be a literal 50% lie. FFmpeg developers have never asked for funding.
What they actually said is that they need more developers to help them fix the issues.
This is a common misconception that FOSS developers want more money, or are doing bad, when in reality they want just simple contributions.
You keep seeing that "developers are exhausted, they need money" over and over again, but this is complete lie. You won't stop developers from being exhausted by simply giving them more money.
This case right here: https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/1n5jpzk/comment/nbuugw1/ shows that most people out there don't really understand what exhaustion in maintaining something alone means.
Imagine a exhausted FOSS dev comes to you and says: "Man, can you take care of this code right here for a while? I gotta take a vacation in Hawai, drink and swim all day. I could go anytime, but just can't right now."
And your response would be: "I saw how much free contributions you do to your project and I respect that, sorry that this society doesn't treat your contributions well, I will give you some extra money to properly work extra hours on your project. Thank you for all your help to humanity!"
That's exactly how you sound when you want to give us extra money to maintain our hobbies.
When talking about maintenance and code requests, Argent Linux is no different. We don't want money, we want contributions.
Send code. Send patches. Send merge requests.
There's nothing simpler than to create a fork out of https://gitlab.com/argent/argent-ws.git
Git clone your fork, something like https://gitlab.com/youruser/argent-ws-fork-or-somth.git
Change a ebuild, fix a bug, add a feature, and send a merge request.
You even have the GPTs* nowadays to tell you how to do this, you only have to ask, they can point you to the right tutorials.
But this is how FOSS works, and this is how Argent Linux works. We're no different from any other FOSS project out there.
