Linux SymphonyOS, one of the more refreshing Linux distributions, is in trouble, since its lead developer is in financial troubles. "Core symphony development is currently stalled as I am without electricity in my apartment. I need to raise some money this week in order to have electric restored and cover some expenses. Project donations are greatly appreciated and any referral for paying projects are greatly appreciated as well. I have really big plans for symphony in the near future that will hopefully blow some larger distros out of the water. I cant wait to share them all with you."

Another OS no one will use.

"I have really big plans for symphony in the near future that will hopefully blow some larger distros out of the water."

Sure.

Like we need another os.

I count thousands of operating systems.

You need to get a job.

If your OS is so damn special then investors would jump on board. I don't see any.

Now if you OS would work better than Xwindows - hardward compatibility , then I would be interested in donating.

I count about about twenty six on the list you just provided, half of which are even close to the level of functionality that Symphony OS has.

Like we need another troll. I've seen millions of them. You need to stop posting irrelevant things.

And another thing, there have been many worth while projects that didn't get financial backing for a long time. It's not that it's not special, it's just not profitable. You shouldn't put both together in the same column, because the world is not just about money.
