Windows 11 Shenanigans

With windows 10 soon to not receive updates and the TPM requirements there is a concern of e-waste. Before throwing your system out please consider listing it. Make it a fair price and I can guarantee that a savvy Linux user will give it a new home and purpose. Perhaps you will be that Linux user.

I will probably never be a Linux user, but I hate seeing perfectly good pc hardware tossed out for no good reason.

Tossed out? Lol. I still have all of my old crap in possession. Even fire it up now and then just for nostalgic purposes. Have tried the Linux route several times but always a struggle in getting printers and other addons to properly work. It's just not setup friendly. Windows has lost me. I get everything I need done these days with the simplicity of android. I'm retired so have no further use for any Office suites and what not. I work Excel and Access, which syntax sucks as a database, at home for many years. No longer.

@Gibbon I am glad you keep your systems around and that's great. I have seen reports of people tossing out Threadrippers out to the curb. Perfectly functional systems that could have easily made them some good pocket change.
