Time to start a nonprofit that cleans up old machines and installs Linux on them for deserving poor folks.
You know who throws away computers? WASTEFUL people. There’s always a use for older, “obsolete” technology. Today’s tablet could become tomorrow’s clock or picture frame. Today’s computer could become tomorrow’s server or game system or video player. You just have to have a little creativity and some knowledge of tech.
Finally cheaper hardware in the used market
All those computers would run amazing with Linux.
Sure, or just windows 10 even. My custom build still smokes most mid and entry level off the shelf pcs but is ineligible for win11 BS requirements. As a result, my start button is still way over on the left side! What in the hell is the alure of 11 that people feel the need to toss their system? I don’t see it.
Security updates and general support. That’s basically it
Send the 7th Gen and better ones to me for plex servers.
Windows 11, finally bringing the year of Linux on the desktop.
I think most people would rather throw away their computer than learn to click a different icon.
Send Windows 11 and their stupid trusted computing initiative to the landfill instead.
I wonder what said researchers though about windows xp or 7 reaching EOL…o
How dangerous can it be to run an old OS anyways? Been doing it for years. Might actually be a good thing now that the forced updates are gone.
The landfill is a rude thing to call linux
