Opt out? Opt in? Opt Green!
50% of consumers buy new devices due to unsupported software, while the “tsunami of #eWaste” continues to rise.
#FreeSoftware #OpenSource can keep those devices in use and out of the landfill. Today!
Say hello to the new #KDEEco project “#OptGreen: #SustainableSoftware For Sustainable Hardware”.

You don’t need new hardware for a secure, up-to-date device; you just need the right software!
@Bro666 @d3Xt3r Ran EndeavourOS/Plasma 6 and FreeBSD/ Plasma5 on a similar specced machine (Dell Inspiron 1525 with a slightly slower CPU but upped RAM to 3GB, ssd and faster wifi ) all fine.
Firefox, libroffice, thunderbird, dolphin, kate… All ok. No gaming but retro stuff (baldursgate 1+2, scummvm, platformers), no 4K streaming, tho :)
Only thing was, No blur effects due to hw limitations of the Intel gma GPU
Toying around with OpenBSD and Plasma on that machine, now.
