2 years agoI didnt have access to good internet, this was back in the pretty early dial-up era in the 90s. I bought “Corel Linux” on disc(s) from Costco. It wasn’t particularly great, but I definitely learned a lot about getting linux to play nice with hardware!
So, you’re kind of correct. However, you CAN make profit by acting as an ‘organizer’ for the charity event, where the charity pays you the money as a service, but directly gets the donations. See: Games Done Quick, which is a for-profit LLC that the various charities they ‘support’ pay them to put on the event. Of course, this number naturally is likely to end up being a % of the last event’s donations.
