Digital sustainability at one of #Hannover 's (Germany) largest 🍎 schools!

At a 2-day workshop at the end of May, 10 enthusiastic students learned how software determines the operating life of their devices.

They then rolled up their sleeves and upgraded 5 laptops to make them usable again with #FreeSoftware #OpenSource (#Fedora, #Debian, #MXLinux #KDE #Plasma6).

Now they decide where to donate the laptops: To the school, the library or people in their community 🚀

Dieses Meme zeigt sehr eindrucksvoll die Intension der #endof10 Kampagne und den Irrsinn, nahezu "neue" Rechner wegzuwerfen!

> Ich bin dazugestoßen über ein Reparatur-Initiativen-Netzwerk in Deutschland. Dort war ein Webinar darüber ausgeschrieben worden, wie man mit #Linux das Windows-10-Update-Problem lösen kann für die Computer, die Windows 11 nicht unterstützen. Das war speziell für #RepairCafe s, denn das ist deswegen ein Thema, weil mit Ende von #Windows10 viel Elektroschrott auf uns zukommt.
