Before you start downloading


Work on Window Maker Live took many hours, days, and weeks of writing code, debugging, and testing. Currently, working on wmlive costs me much more time and money than i can afford. To be sustainable, the amount of time invested in these activities for your benefit need to be sufficiently rewarded. Contrary to popular believe, independent Open Source developers also have to eat and pay the rent.

To support our work and express your appreciation in a meaningful way, please consider donating as proposed:


Student or unemployed


Low income professional


Middle income professional


High income professional


If you feel rich and generous

Instead of donating plain cash, it would also help tremenduously to prevent me from the need of spending any money in expensive hardware purchases. This means that hardware donations, even if the items are in previously used but working condition, would be very welcome. For example, any ARM-based laptop like a ThinkPad X13s, a Raspberry Pi 4 or 5, or similar would tremenduously help to enable further development and proper testing of an aarch64/arm64-ISO image. I also could really use larger NVME SSD drives to cover the ever increasing storage needs. Please contact me privately at wmlive AT user.sf.net for delivery details.
