    Title: "The most environmentally-friendly device is the one you already own." The image shows a pie chart with Apple Corporation's CO2 emissions. In the center are the total emissions from 2018: "25.2 million metric tons of CO2". The pie chart illustrates the following (from lowest emissions to highest): - End of life treatment accounts for less than 1% of emissions - Corporate facilities account for 2% of emissions - Product transport accounts for 5% of emissions - Usage accounts for 19% of emissions - Production accounts for 74% of emissions The original report from Apple is: "Environmental Responsibility Report: 2019 Progress Report, covering fiscal year 2018": https://www.apple.com/environment/pdf/Apple_Environmental_Responsibility_Report_2019.pdf. The full KDE Eco leaflet from which the image was taken is available at: https://invent.kde.org/teams/eco/opt-green/-/blob/master/materials/leaflets/kde-eco-umweltfestival-flyer-EN-8.jpg

    Opt out? Opt in? Opt Green!

    50% of consumers buy new devices due to unsupported software, while the "tsunami of " continues to rise.

    can keep those devices in use and out of the landfill. Today!

    Say hello to the new project ": For Sustainable Hardware".

    https://eco.kde.org/blog/2024-05-29_introducing-ns4nh/

    You don't need new hardware for a secure, up-to-date device; you just need the right software!

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but this project isn't talking specifically about Plasma, is it? They don't mention Plasma anywhere on the page they linked.

    In any case, that's irrelevant, also, I don't doubt that KDE can't run at all under the specs you mentioned - that's not the issue. The question is, how much free/usable RAM do you actually have on that machine - let's say with no apps open first, and with then check again with Konsole + Dolphin + KWrite/Kate open? And for fun, fire up Konqueror as well and check again.
