@aral all those "obsolete" computers that can't run the latest version of Windows or MacOS any more can run perfectly on Linux. There can be an opportunity somewhere hidden in this mess. In the Netherlands there is a great initiative to refurbish laptops with Linux and hand them out to people that can't afford one: https://www.laptoprevive.nl/ (sorry Dutch). @LaptopRevive

@voorstad @rikviergever @Walruths @murena @Tweakers @e_mydata @gael Agree, and we should embrace the availability of choice here. We should see AOSP more like Linux, where there is a flavor for everyone. Some require Tails, some prefer the ease of use of Ubuntu. The fact that you can choose what suits you is sheer beauty.

I've been using /e/OS for more than 2.5 years now and it's has grown into a solid platform. It suits me that I can just buy a supported device with the OS pre-installed. I require a general level of security and like the enhanced privacy. But that's me, if you require something else there is choice.

Like @voorstad states, let's make sure that Europe's ambitions are turned into support for these alternative OS-es.
