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!

    @be4foss @kde Computers are easy, but what about smart phones?

    I’d love to keep my Android phone for longer than 3 years but even if I find a compatible ROM to flash on it, I can’t use it for banking, payments, etc. → I have to buy a new phone :'(

    So, are there any plans to reduce the bloat in KDE, maybe even make a lightweight version (like LXQt) that’s suitable for older PCs with limited resources?
