Opt In? Opt Out? Opt Green! KDE Eco's New Sustainability Initiative
summary
New two year project Opt Green funds consumer-facing campaigns, workshops at eco‑festivals and print ads, with a budget for international placements, aiming to convert eco‑consumers by demoing unsupported hardware and offering installation help. It cites 240 million computers at risk from Windows 11 cutoff and uses measurement tooling like KDEcoTest and EcoTab, GitLab-driven usage scripts, EcoCI and Selenium for energy reports. A Berlin pilot runs monthly workshops, a KDE Eco lab is online, and outreach materials and translations are in progress.
