    @be4foss @kde I bought an HP EliteBook G1 second hand for less than £200. It gave me 9 years of good service using Debian Linux and KDE before a keyboard failure prompted its retirement. I now have a Dell Latitude which seems fine so far. There’s plenty of life in many old computers, but I would agree phones seem a harder problem to address.
