       Hundreds of thousands of Computers won't be able to upgrade to Windows 11, but that shouldn't make them eWaste.Kudos to the @kde team for this amazing initiative!https://endof10.org/

       @jmaris @kde My laptop is 15 years old and running Ubuntu. It is not that complicated. If you have some IT knowledge, you can do it yourself.

       @saalbers @jmaris @kde And even if you have nearly zero IT knowledge: If you are fed up enough with Microsoft you are able to make the switch to Linux. I did it. And if I can do it as a middle age woman with little IT knowledge then everybody can!

       @jmaris @kde Microsoft failed to support the upgrade to Windows 11 on hundreds of thousands of computers.Many other operating system distributors didn't fail, so you have a lot of choices.

       @jmaris @kde My favorite feature in Windows 11 is that it makes users discard perfectly good computers I snap up and run Linux on. 10 out of 10 stars for that feature.

       @hellomiakoda Same same. Good, innit?! I now have 3 perfectly usable laptops, all running various flavours of Linux, for basically bugger-all other than a little of my time.I should start hawking them round some of the local community groups who provide IT kit to those without such.@jmaris @kde
