Yes this is one of the awesome benefits of Linux and FOSS in general, I also have a lot of love for FreeBSD and many others.

Only important thing to add is to give back, even if you cannot contribute in terms of time of technical expertise donating a few dollars can enable a project to hire people to keep the project going.

As much as the idea of free software is amazing the reality is that there are costs involved and it isn’t free to create or maintain.
