It’s #BlueFriday and let’s celebrate by doing something good for the planet. The most eco-friendly device is still the one you already own!
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:

I’m running @EndeavourOS on my 2011 MBP without any issues. Have you tried running any lived distro to see what hardware works and doesn’t work?
@be4foss
Oh nice! Yeah, I tried the Mint (Cinnamon) live distro and couldn’t get the wireless to show, for starters. There seemed to be a lot of hoops to jump through, and I used to just throw a distro on HW and figure it out. Apple is a different beast, and since I wiped it I couldn’t pull anything.
I’ll try Endeavour next - not tied to any distro, just familiar with (X/K)Ubuntu most recently (I’m an older bearded Unix/Linux fan, ha). Much appreciated!
