As a volunteer repairer... I encourage everyone to make the best use of their old devices! Don't replace them until you actually need to!
It takes a lot of effort to manufacture electronics, so please keep & use them for at least 7 years.
That's when the energy incurred from using your device balances out that from manufacturing it.
@alcinnz I'm still using an HP notebook from 2013.
I had to replace the screen once (very proud that I did it myself), but other than that no problems at all.
It runs with a dual boot setup for Windows 10 and Linux Kubuntu with KDE.
Now that Windows 10 has reached EOL, I've completely switched to Linux and it feels so lightweight. 🪶
@alcinnz@floss.social As one data point, my 2012 Macbook may be unacceptably slow with macOS... but #AlpineLinux is super fast there, except for the boot and resume from disk time of course. I guess #Debian would run fine there too, I just wanted something #musl imic for a change.
