What's good for hardware is good for the budget … and environment!

LliureX #Linux with #KDEPlasma in Valencian schools saves the public administration *3.5 million euros a year* for 110,000 computers. [1]

* School HW has lifespan up to 18 years while running up-to-date software [2]
* Cheap easy-to-manage "light clients" ideal for very old upcycled HW [3]
* LliureX-Shutdowner saves energy by turning off unused computers school-wide [4]

What's good for the hardware is good for the budget! Ca. 2 decades operating life for hardware running LliureX #Linux with #KDEPlasma in Valencian schools!

"We are talking about machines that have maintained a lifespan of between 15 and 18 years running with modern versions of #LliureX. No other proprietary technology in the history of educational computing can exhibit such a record […]." (translated in Firefox)
