End Of 10 CampaignEndof10@floss.social
2025-10-14

> Ich bin dazugestoßen über ein Reparatur-Initiativen-Netzwerk in Deutschland. Dort war ein Webinar darüber ausgeschrieben worden, wie man mit #Linux das Windows-10-Update-Problem lösen kann für die Computer, die Windows 11 nicht unterstützen. Das war speziell für #RepairCafe s, denn das ist deswegen ein Thema, weil mit Ende von #Windows10 viel Elektroschrott auf uns zukommt.

Wishing our community a very happy 29th birthday!

14 Oct is not only KDE's birthday, but also International #eWaste Day & the end of "free" support for #Windows10.

KDE is the organization behind #KDEEco with the goal of strengthening sustainability in the development & adoption of #FreeSoftware #OpenSource software.

KDE Eco's #OptGreen put the cross-community campaign #EndOf10 into motion at #SFSCon 2024.

Donate to #KDE today & support our amazing work: kde.org/fundraisers/yearend202

Products tethered to manufacturer software creates #eWaste.

Free & Open Source Software and Open Hardware are a solution!

Lessons learned:

* Tethered products cheat consumers out of products they paid for
* People can organize in powerful ways
* Governments can reduce the risks

#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.

KDE dragon mascots Konqi and Katie are carrying repair toolkits on their way to fix laptops, tablets, and smartphones.

Green leaves in the shape of the letter K are growing out of the top of the devices, a reference to the KDE Eco logo of a green leaf growing out of the KDE Gear.
