I agree, and you have to make the PRs you want to see. I don’t think this project of free software has a big (or perhaps any) budget!


I'm so tired of seeing this argument. Most "big" open-source projects are well funded. Usually the reason they don't support <<obvious thing>> is poor leadership, not funding.

Over the past two years Tails has received 500k USD in bitcoin alone:

You can also surmise that they receive ~200k/yr from official sponsors:

Then you have all the paypal, bank, cash donations.

Is it enough to add support for a second arch that is fully supported upstream (they ship a customized Debian)? You decide.


That’s a lot of donations.
