@be4foss @kde 🙄 Until durable #hardware gets back to being made & #FOSS, including for smartphones is made compatible with said durable hardware, FOSS preventing devices entering landfills & thusly helping reduce carbon emissions will more be the realm of a nice dream/goal than a reality.
A broken device won't be running the default OS anyway.
The point of this is to take all the working hardware that is currently running a soon unsupported version of Windows, which can't be updated to a supported one because the hardware does not support the newer version, and make it run supported software, so the user does not discard the hardware.
Folks! Let's all stop trying! This random person on the Internet says it's not worth it.
