Title: Linux Mint is now also listed at Patreon

Linux Mint is now also listed at Patreon:
-> https://www.patreon.com/linux_mint/overview
I now support Linux Mint with 3$ per month instead of the irregular donations.

The revenue that Linux Mint generates there is used to support their upstream developers. So today they announced to support Tony George (aka teejeetech) with Patreon as well:
-> https://www.patreon.com/posts/supporting-22366320
-> https://www.patreon.com/teejeetech

Tony George writes in his spare time Linux software. Projects like Timeshift (Restore & Recovery Tool), Ukuu (Kernel Update Tool) or Selene (Up to date Audio/Video Converter) were written and are maintained by him.

I think it's a cool thing. Because I support my preferred Linux distribution, the developers who develop for Linux Mint are also supported. Nice! :)

Can't say I like the idea of putting news behind a paywall and suggesting people beta test your software as a "perk" for donating bigger amounts. This being free software, that is.

I'm completely in favor of donating to Patreon, SPI, etc. to keep good things going. I tell myself that I'm not a teenager anymore; it's time to give a little back towards the software I use all the time.
