Is it possible to know how much money was given to Hyperbola since that event?

Congrats! Been using this distro since October last year (around the time systemd support was removed from the install iso).

congrats. one of the handful of reasons i started my organisation is i didnt think the fsf was taking the systemd issue seriously (and i dont think it will be the last issue like it, either.)
now theres an official fsf distro that is standing against the creep of systemd! something to be very proud of. just getting on the list is quite a challenge in itself.
Thank you for supporting Hyperbola! Afaik, there are other non-systemd distros endorsed by FSF, such as Dragora and GuixSD, but i don't sure if those distros contain a clear anti-systemd policy like Hyperbola.

More importantly, those distros aren't as stable and in the case of Dragora, it has not been updated nearly enough for my taste/looks like it would be even harder to learn then Arch based distros, etc...

Besides, I have settled with Hyperbola.

Cool

Good, I am glad you are starting on libressl, I know its supposedly more secure/less bloated. hehe... I will try to tell of your os if you'd like to disroot.org forum if you want. I think I will do so right now, anything you want me to say in particular?

Cool, our current goal is increase even more our stability and security by migrating from the systemd's file system hierarchy used in Arch to the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard for the next release (Milky Way v0.3).
