How many x86 based netbooks are e-waste now (despite being able to run linux) because the hardware simply wasn't up to the job?
- djsumdog 6y agoSure, they can be e-waste, but I can always pick up and old one and put Linux on it and there's a good chance I can get it working with a simple Live USB/CD, maybe some additional drivers. The barrier to getting old ARMs to work is MUCH higher. Would a lot of them get thrown out anyway even if there was a Linux option? Most likely, but the option isn't even there.
