For many people, the #Linux vs #Windows vs #Mac debate is a privilege — it assumes you can choose. But working with the Computer Upcycle Project, I've seen the real choice is often Linux vs no computer at all.

~95% of donated computers are "too old" for Windows 11 or macOS. Linux installs on them anyway, adding 10+ years of life to machines #Microsoft and #Apple called trash.

This isn't Linux vs Windows. It's Linux vs e-waste.

If you are used to Windows, #ZorinOS is really easy to use (zorin.com/os/).
It won't necessarily work on all computers though (like all Linux distributions I guess) so make sure to test it by running it from a USB stick before installing it!
