For many people, the #Linux vs #Windows vs #Mac debate is a privilege — 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 have a Mac Mini that's over a decade old that Apple hasn't supported since 2020. It's currently running Proxmox with a Home Assistant OS VM and an AlmaLinux VM on it.  Still runs like a total champ.
