Anybody know how financially stable #LinuxMint is? I am considering recommending it to people like my mom as support for #Windows 10 winds down, but looking at their sponsors page looks like they only bring in between $3k and $4k per month. That's not a lot of money for several developers to maintain an entire operating system. What happens if they lose one of the 2-3 big sponsors they have? Does the whole project cave or just stop getting timely #security updates?

@gerowen I think the donations graph doesn't include patreon subscribers, which is another ~$3K/mo (and rising)

@gerowen Oh, also there looks to be around ~$380K in bitcoin sitting in their wallet.
