Q: What is the purpose of Linux.Pizza?

A: I started this project with an entirely different idea in mind, but I soon realized how impossible the idea was for me so I started just setting up different services free for people to use instead.

Q: Why Linux.Pizza?

A: Well, you can compile your pizza how much you want and still be able to call it a pizza. The same applies to Linux.

Q: Why do you do this?

A: I couldn't first really find anything that was similar to it (I later found disroot.org with a similar approach) and the current tools out there did not offer the user that control they deserve or was hosted on different plattforms or providers. I wanted to make it easier for users to find useful tools that they can use and that respects the users privacy and freedom.

Q: Do you gather any data about your users?

A: I am not interested in any data, I just felt the need myself for those tools and other people might aswell use them too free of charge.

Q: Are you going to add more tools/services in the future?

A: Yes! Please let me know if you find anything useful!

Q: How do I contact you?

A: Feel free to hook me up on Mastodon or email. Or if you want to send a more urgent and important message: 0x8B35B3C894B964DD.

Q: Who pays for all this?

A: I do, because I want give something back to the community and not just leech from it.

Q: Can I donate to the project?

A: Sure! Every penny will go back into the project and cover the cost of servers and domain names (such as linux.pizza and temporary-mail.xyz). The goal will increase when more services are added, donating is completely voluntary!

Q: What does the donated money covers?

A: Everything goes to the projects, covering costs for the domains:

linux.pizza - $35 / year

And infrastructure:

Temporary email server - $3 / month

FreeDNS service - $11 / month

Mastodon instance - $25 / month

Physical servers - $15 / month to cover electricy
