    This is the biggest reason for me; old hardware.

    Wanna try and kill my 8 year old laptop by refusing to support it? Fine. Lubuntu.

      There’s so much waste everywhere, let alone in tech. Being able to both “recycle” old hardware, and find legitimate use for it, should be celebrated.

      Now if only I knew what to do about my old phones … I’m pretty good at making them last, so my older ones are very old, and I can’t think of anything useful for them to do that whatever phone I currently have doesn’t do much better 🤔
