Open source doesn't mean developers don't need funding—it just means they're using a different business model, like Ardour.
Consider donating to your favorite projects to help keep them alive. Here are some suggestions:
* Ardour
* Linux Studio Plugins
* Qtractor
* Zrythm
* Airwindows
* FalkTX's projects
* Surge Synth Team
* Brummer10 (Hermann)
* Giada
* LiquidSFZ
* Linux Sampler
* Socalabs
* Geonkick
* Element
