#OptGreen: Eine nachhaltigere digitale Welt ist möglich
> Laptops, Smartphones und andere Geräte werden schnell "alt". Dabei spielt Software eine große Rolle. Oft bekommst du nach 3-5 Jahren die Meldung, dass dein Gerät die Mindestanforderungen für das neuste Update nicht mehr erfüllt. Oder eine App, die du installieren willst, benötigt ein Update, das dein Gerät nicht unterstützt. Das ist ärgerlich, besonders wenn das Gerät eigentlich noch funktioniert.

J'apprends que la fin de Windows 10, qui va mener des centaines de millions de PC à la décharge va tomber... la date de la journée internationale du déchet électronique !!! Le foutage de gueule est ultime !
#OptGreen est une campagne de communication encourageant les gens à passer de Windows 10 à GNU/Linux à cette occasion.

SFSCon is this weekend in Bolzano/Bozen!
Watch KDE Eco's #OptGreen talk and join our BoF afterward. Let's begin organizing a global, unified campaign to raise awareness about Windows 10's end of support on 14 October 2025, the role software plays in driving #eWaste, and how independent, sustainable #FreeSoftware is a solution to keep those devices in use and out of the landfill.

Supporting children learning digital sustainability!
Why one company in #Hannover donated time/hardware to support a GNU/Linux workshop at Akademie der Spiele:
"If Germany is to create an economically and environmentally sustainable economy [...], we have to encourage our children to take control of their digital world. They must see it as something they can shape and make decisions about, not just something to be consumed."

Thanks for your support #Upvest!

9th graders learn Linux for the environment!
Last week in #Hannover, #KDEEco joined Akademie der Spiele, an event for 200+ students with 20+ career/cultural workshops.
Students salvaged dozens of computers with #OpenSource #FreeSoftware.
They learned about the #environmental costs of #eWaste and device production.
They presented their work to peers and teachers!
Some even played games🚀
We're proud of our students - congrats for all you achieved in only 5 days!

MacBook Air owner?
2018/2019 models are losing #Apple support.
#OptGreen with #GNU/#Linux to keep your device in use! These machines will run beautifully for many years to come.
Not only wallet friendly, #upcycling keeps CO2 emissions out of the atmosphere. Ca. 75% of Apple's emissions comes from production alone (details in alt text).
Sustainable, independent #FreeSoftware: Better for users, best for the #environment.

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".
https://eco.kde.org/blog/2024-05-29_introducing-ns4nh/
You don't need new hardware for a secure, up-to-date device; you just need the right software!
