    Congrats to the whole team 👏

    Digitale vrijheid betekent vrijheid van keuze.

    Bij LaptopRevive geloven we dat iedereen moet kunnen kiezen voor open software, zoals #OpenSource en @linuxmint, zonder afhankelijk te zijn van gesloten ecosystemen.

    💻 Doneer je oude laptop. Wij geven hem een tweede leven voor scholieren en studenten die zelf geen laptop kunnen betalen.

    🌍 Minder e-waste. Meer digitale inclusie. Meer keuzevrijheid.

    💜 Geef een laptop. Geef vrijheid.
