I have a gentoo sweater. They have an official merch store, but it looked a bit rough. I, shamefully, got a made on demand sweater from Amazon with the gentoo logo on it. I did also donate the price of the sweater straight to gentoo though as well. I donate to them from time to time.

Just get some fabrics and compile it yourself, easy peasy

I’ve checked a few Linux merch stores and most of what I see looks like really limited or dated stock. I think distros are missing a trick by not putting more focus on it.

Even Gnome’s stuff looks kinda ugly, despite them making an absolutely gorgeous DE.

I’d 100% pick something up. There’s something in my dumb monkey brain that makes me more likely to spend £30 on a Linux merch jumper than to spend £10 on a normal jumper and £20 on a donation

E: monkey brain not money brain

It’s all about the merchandising! Your ‘dumb money brain’ is shared by many. They are selling an emotional product represented by a cheap trinket or gee-gaw. Retail psychology is really interesting

I created a GitHub repo a couple of weeks ago to list merch for open source projects, but there are not many things there yet.
https://github.com/makmarian/open-source-merch-list

Note: I've tried to make sure I found the correct link for each project, but if unsure, please double check. Also, I have not bought from any of the links listed, so I cannot say anything about the quality of the different merch.

Arch Linux has two online stores for purchasing merch:

Freewear

HelloTux

I got a Rocky Linux shirt directly from them. I didn’t think the shirt material was great as it was that kinda rough cotton but happy I was able to support. If anyone from Rocky Linux reads this, I’d buy another shirt if it was softer!

Hellotux.com, little family owned embroidery shop that uses mostly FOSS software to do all their embroidery.

Lots of different FOSS projects they have Merch for.

Their t-shirts are great. I’ll order a hoodie right now because their shipping cost is currently 60% discounted.

Edit: www.hellotux.com/aboutus.php

From your purchase we support free software, usually $3-5 from each product sold. But not everybody can accept money due to legal reasons, in this case, we give free shirts to developers.

Do you follow any Linux/FOSS oriented content creators on YouTube who sell merch?
