Black Friday Reminder For Those Hating Ads But Loving Linux Hardware/Software

Written by Michael Larabel in Phoronix on 28 November 2025 at 05:00 PM EST. 7 Comments
As the one and last friendly reminder, if you enjoy the daily and original content found on Phoronix.com but not liking ads and wanting to view multi-page articles on a single page, native dark mode, and more: the 2025 Black Friday / Cyber Week deal is ending Monday to help support the site while enjoying a discounted rate.

The 2025 Cyber Week deal is ongoing for those wishing to help support Phoronix.com during these difficult times for web publishers and also frustrating times for readers given the unfortunate state of the web ad industry. But simply put, without ads or options like Phoronix Premium, I'd need to close up shop. Phoronix as is has only lasted 21+ years due to my stubborn passion for the Linux hardware ecosystem.

So if you would like to enjoy Phoronix Premium at a discounted rate for ad-free viewing and the other benefits, see the Cyber Week 2025 details for all the information. The promotion runs through end of day Monday (1 December). Or if you'd like to provide a holiday tip or the like, that can be done and graciously accepted via the likes of PayPal or Stripe.

Thank you for your support in 2025 as I continue to persevere in my seemingly never-ending goal of empowering the Linux hardware experience from lobbying hardware vendors to showcasing the latest Linux performance optimizations and feature enhancements. With ever-crazy ad-block rates and the unfortunate state of the ad industry while having less than 0.5% paying subscriber rates, it unfortunately is a grueling and demanding passion.
