The list includes monetary sponsorships and unit donations, but not units sent for marketing (e.g. press units) or development purposes, some of which is pre-release hardware we send under NDA. These are marketing/R&D expenses rather than donations, but also, we haven’t been doing good record-keeping in the past on these. The list in my earlier post (“Fedora, Bluefin, Bazzite, NixOS, Arch Linux, Linux Mint, Omarchy, and many other distros”) was a subset of R&D units we sent to open source developers in 2025.
Edit: We’re updating the blog post to clarify this point further.
