I've got some standing orders of 1 or 2 euros every month for bigger projects like grapheneos and kde. And for small apps that I actively use, I try to donate 5 or 10 euros now and then. It's not much but I believe if everyone is doing their part we succeed in the long run

For the free programs I use, I have a total of around 100$ to give every year. The more programs or projects I want to support, the less there is for each. Otherwise, I’d just become poorer and poorer.

For paid pograms and services, I’m also trying to not go for the cheapest but the ethically better ones.

I also have a 2 patreons to support creators who speak about FOSS.

I think you don’t have to give much, but you should always try to give something every year.
