I don’t know about the EWaste part, I own a 2015 MacBook Pro and that thing is immortal! Still runs as smooth as the day I got it and it’s seen a lot of abuse.

Don’t know of many other brands that have this type of longevity. Out of the many laptops and PC’s that I owned, non lasted this long.

+1 for Void Linux

I have a crappy old laptop and I wanted to extend its life and usability by installing a resource light OS on it. I decided on Void Linux and proceeded to try it out in a VM on my MacBook before I installed it on the potato laptop.

I know I could emulate it using UTM but I figured that attempting a chroot installation would be a nice learning experience. I also haven’t seen much guides on it online — especially for aarch64 machines — and figured I could contribute and fill some of the void (pun not intended but very welcome).
