       Every year, 62 million tons of e-waste are dumped, much from hardware Microsoft stopped supporting. Windows 11 requires TPM 2.0 and modern CPUs, so perfectly good 2014-2019 machines are now 'obsolete'.Linux uses far less RAM with Ubuntu+Xfce needing 650MB vs Windows 11 at 3-4GB. Three lightweight Linux releases in 2026 show that Linux ecosystem will work just fine on your old hardware.https://www.fosslinux.com/158206/linux-on-older-hardware-revival-guide.htm#linux #technology
