Great list! However, money needs to come from somewhere. It's unsustainable to expect great technology to just be free.
If you use any of these projects, consider also supporting them on opencollective.com, GitHub Sponsors, ko-fi.com, or patreon.com - wherever they might accept donations or support. Every dollar makes a difference!

Fully agree. Even if a certain user cannot contribute to the open source project with a monetary donation, there are many different ways to contribute to open source projects, e.g. by publicizing it so that it reachers others that can help with the funding

Agreed, the title might be misleading.
Added a small note about this. Thanks.

Yes totally agree, Not paying to these awesome people who make these open source tools and Projects was not my motive, instead the other way around.
