10 reasons every nerd wants to become a Lunduke Journal Founding Member subscriber

Number 10 will SHOCK you!

I want to take a moment to thank every subscriber to The Lunduke Journal. Without all of you, none of this would be possible. You are all amazing!

And, as we approach the end of April, The Lunduke Journal is exactly one subscriber short of hitting our goals for the month. One! (If we hit that I can stop talking about subscriptions for a while!)

With that in mind, I thought I’d take 2 minutes and list for you 10 reasons that you really, really, really want to subscribe to The Lunduke Journal. (There’s probably a bunch more, but 10 is a nice, round number!)

Most of these apply to all subscription levels. But 7 and 9 are for Founding Members only. SubtleHint.gif.

Here we go! Top 10 time!

1. You directly support a Linux and alternative computing publication with zero corporate influence.

   1. Seriously. No corporate advertisers at all. No Big Tech firm can influence what gets published (or not published) on The Lunduke Journal.

2. Free pass to LundukeFest! A full day of nerdy goodness!

3. 10 DRM-free books (and growing fast)!

   1. Computer history, computer jokes, software development satire, kids books, and a bunch more. It’s awesome.

4. Linux & DOS video games!

   1. Like Linux Tycoon 3 - The OS Wars!

5. Exclusive articles, about super nerdy stuff, that nobody else gets to read!

6. Exclusive podcasts… for your ears only!

7. [Founding Member’s Only] Complimentary access to The Lunduke Journal Community site.

   1. Think of it like an exclusive Country Club… but only for nerds who want to talk about Linux, long forgotten computer platforms, and programming languages not used since 1972.

8. 24 hour/day access to The House of Lunduke BBS.

9. [Founding Member’s Only] A monthly hangout with Lunduke and all of the other Founding Member nerds!

10. Warm, fuzzy feelings.

    1. Like. Super warm. And mega fuzzy. Like… this fuzzy:

Bonus nerd points if you know which movie that is from.

How to become a Subscriber

Ok, so you’re convinced!

There are three different platforms you can use to become a Lunduke Journal subscriber: Substack, Locals, and Patreon.

All are wonderful, equally supported, and provide all the same benefits listed above! So the choice is really based entirely on which site you like using the most!

If you want to become a Founding Member and get the extra goodies (you really do), simply choose a Founding Member option on either Substack or Patreon. Nice and easy.

If you would prefer to become a Founding Member on Locals, follow these steps (also pretty easy).

After you’ve subscribed, head over to the Subscriber Perks Page and start clicking links! There’s a ridiculous amount of fun stuff in there!

Seriously. You rule.

Once again, thank you to each and every subscriber. You are amazing. I couldn’t do any of this without you.

You’re the best.
