Opt out? Opt in? Opt Green!

50% of consumers buy new devices due to unsupported software, while the "tsunami of " continues to rise.

can keep those devices in use and out of the landfill. Today!

Say hello to the new project ": For Sustainable Hardware".

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

@MageInBlack @kde Some background: KDE Eco has funded projects supported by the KDE e.V. and community. The name is derived from the website eco.kde.org, originally created for the FOSS-oriented project "Blauer Engel For FOSS" (BE4FOSS). Since 2021 we've been in contact with many FOSS projects/communities as well as people working on measuring software's energy consumption, digital sustainability, etc. Much is still work in progress and as newsworthy things happen we make sure to post about it.

@Bro666 @d3Xt3r Ran EndeavourOS/Plasma 6 and FreeBSD/ Plasma5 on a similar specced machine (Dell Inspiron 1525 with a slightly slower CPU but upped RAM to 3GB, ssd and faster wifi ) all fine.

Firefox, libroffice, thunderbird, dolphin, kate... All ok. No gaming but retro stuff (baldursgate 1+2, scummvm, platformers), no 4K streaming, tho :)

Only thing was, No blur effects due to hw limitations of the Intel gma GPU

Toying around with OpenBSD and Plasma on that machine, now.
