For many people, the #Linux vs #Windows vs #Mac debate is a privilege β€” it assumes you can choose. But working with the Computer Upcycle Project, I've seen the real choice is often Linux vs no computer at all.

~95% of donated computers are "too old" for Windows 11 or macOS. Linux installs on them anyway, adding 10+ years of life to machines #Microsoft and #Apple called trash.

This isn't Linux vs Windows. It's Linux vs e-waste.

@codemonkeymike I installed OpenSUSE Leap with KDE Plasma on old HP Elitebook Core 2 laptop. It's almost 20 years old. Works really fast without any problems.
@bhasic @codemonkeymike SU7300 is oldest machine in my homelab. Any distro w XFCE has been solid on it: Mint, MX. Manjaro. Also Q4OS is solid.
