Install GNU/Linux and run new & old HW more efficiently and for longer, reducing the disproportionate #carbon footprint from device production.
Donate the savings to #KDE and #FOSS projects to show your love for all the amazing things we achieve when we work together:
Per chi parla italiano, date un'occhiata all'articolo su KDE Eco in Edge9 della rivista online Hardware Upgrade.
"SFSCON 2024: la sostenibilità ambientale passa anche dal software. Il progetto OptGreen di Kde Eco"
> L’8 e il 9 novembre NOI Techpark, il parco scientifico tecnologico di Bolzano, ospiterà la South Tyrol Free Software Conference (SFSCON), un evento interamente dedicato al free software e aperto al pubblico.

Watch KDE Eco's #OptGreen talk and join our BoF afterward. Let's begin organizing a global, unified campaign to raise awareness about Windows 10's end of support on 14 October 2025, the role software plays in driving #eWaste, and how independent, sustainable #FreeSoftware is a solution to keep those devices in use and out of the landfill.

Last week in #Hannover, #KDEEco joined Akademie der Spiele, an event for 200+ students with 20+ career/cultural workshops.
Students salvaged dozens of computers with #OpenSource #FreeSoftware.
They learned about the #environmental costs of #eWaste and device production.
They presented their work to peers and teachers!
Some even played games🚀
We're proud of our students - congrats for all you achieved in only 5 days!

2018/2019 models are losing #Apple support.
\#OptGreen with #GNU/#Linux to keep your device in use! These machines will run beautifully for many years to come.
Not only wallet friendly, #upcycling keeps CO2 emissions out of the atmosphere. Ca. 75% of Apple's emissions comes from production alone (details in alt text).
Sustainable, independent #FreeSoftware: Better for users, best for the #environment.
Opt out? Opt in? Opt Green!
Opt out? Opt in? Opt Green!
50% of consumers buy new devices due to unsupported software, while the "tsunami of #eWaste" continues to rise.
\#FreeSoftware #OpenSource can keep those devices in use and out of the landfill. Today!
Say hello to the new #KDEEco project "#OptGreen: #SustainableSoftware For Sustainable Hardware".

You don't need new hardware for a secure, up-to-date device; you just need the right software!
