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 What’s a good Linux distro for someone new to Linux?

@thegardendude I put one together just for this purpose. Or something more mainstream like Linux mint.
