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!

Just for my 2 cents, I installed kde on an ancient HP elitebook, and while it was a tad slow to boot from disk due to the hard drive, the daily usage was honestly totally fine, and way better than the windows 7 it came with. You are right that KDE is very light compared to windows, or even in general.
