From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

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
