I don't mind supporting authors, but I'd preferably like to avoid supporting DRM. What publishers or authors out there sell their books without DRM?

Cory Doctorow sells his books DRM-free (e-book and audiobook) on his webpage. Some of them are even pay-what-you-want.

He also writes non-fiction. You might be familiar with the term "enshittification". He is the author who coined that term.

In that case you might be interested of his book The Internet Con: How to Seize the Means of Computation.
