Analysts have warned Windows 10 end of life plans could spark a global torrent of e-waste, with millions of devices expected to be scrapped in the coming years.
Research from Canalys shows that up to 240 million PCs globally could be terminated as a result of the shift over to Windows 11, raising critical questions about device refreshes and the responsibility of vendors to extend life cycles.
Those distros exist, not with custom hardware though which I don’t think is needed since normal people aren’t coming at things anyway. Fedora Silverblue and other variants have a pretty strong following. I don’t use it for the other reasons you stated, but I’d put it on my parents PC, probably Fedora Onyx for familiarity though.
