@jmaris@eupolicy.social @kde@floss.social While I’m no fan of Microsoft, I find the claim that this initiative reduces eWaste a bit disingenuous - not necessarily in bad faith, but because the practical impact is limited. Most non-technical users are far more likely to keep using their machines if they can bypass Windows 11’s restrictions than if they’re asked to switch to Linux. This feels more like a well-intentioned push to promote Linux (which I completely support!) than a realistic strategy to reduce eWaste.
