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.

People inside Microsoft are fighting to drop Windows 11's mandatory Microsoft Account requirements during setup

Microsoft's big sweeping set of changes coming soon to Windows 11 don't address its controversial Microsoft account requirements, but that might soon change.

It's time to see past our differences and remember what connects us.

When we realise where our strength lies - in each other - that's when change happens.
