Hey there

Levity is important. Do what you love and be yourself, everything else comes naturally.

Why Patreon?

My name is Gardiner Bryant. I'm the creator of. I make my work freely available on YouTube Twitch , and my I've been a gamer since time immemorial, a Linux fan since the mid-2000's, and quite recently I've become a Nextcloud acolyte. I've developed a yearning to share my passion for free and open source software since I started my YouTube channel way back in 2013!In that time, I've grown as a content creator; finding my niche and exploring types of content . See, I'm not the kind of person who is going to sit back and wait for a paycheck to roll in. I've put my heart and soul into my channel; along the way discovering new ways to engage with you and new topics to cover As a curious and playful person, I am always looking to explore new things, and I feel as though I've built a community with you kind, wonderful folks--who are supportive and interested in the things I share with the world.I've been producing TLG for over 5 years. In that time I've learned a thing or two:I am now able to focus much of my time on making content for you guys. Because of this, I've taken a significant cut in monthly income--which Patreon has helped to recoup.I understand that some people feel weird about Patreon (and crowd funding in general.) That's okay. But if you're here, that means we probably share a common interest.If you believe in the work I do, you can always supportby sharing videos, talking about the channel with your friends and, of course, disabling AdBlock. (But hey, I get it. I don't trust Google, either.)But yeah, if you want to support the show with cold hard cash, (and the warm, fuzzy feeling of participating in crowdfunding campaigns isn't enough of a reward on its own) there are a few different pledge tiers you can choose from.My current patrons and I have tried to make these reward tiers worth your consideration. I hope you find the rewards on offer to be of some value.I put my heart and soul into. I try my best to make content that's fun, thoughtful, and informative. If you like the work that I do, maybe toss a buck or two my way. It all helps!Thanks!
