Elementary OS- Saving Older Computers

SOLUTION FOR USING OLDER COMPUTERS IN NEW TIMES- ELEMENTARY OS- OPERATING SYSTEM

In case of having an older computer- such as an Apple or other computers from or 10 years ago – you may try using Elementary OS system – that is if you find the person to change your operating system to this elementary – based on Linux;

Technically speaking, we could save many old computers from being thrown into landfill- thrown or unused.

WHAT IS ELEMENTARY OS SYSTEM?

(Source Wikipedia)

Elementary OS (stylized as elementary OS) is a Linux distribution based on Ubuntu LTS. It promotes itself as “thoughtful, capable, and ethical computing”[4] and has a pay-what-you-want model.[5][6] The operating system, the desktop environment (called Pantheon[2][3]), and accompanying applications are developed and maintained by elementary, Inc.[7][8]

* Design philosophy

The human interface guidelines of the elementary OS project focus on immediate usability with a gentle learning curve, rather than full-fledged customization.[9] The three core rules the developers set for themselves were “concision“, “accessible configuration” and “minimal documentation”.[9]

Since its inception, elementary OS has received praise and criticism for its design. Wired claimed that it closely resembled macOS, visually and in user experience.[10] The elementary developers say that while it may look like macOS at first, they have a lot of differences.[11]

Pantheon’s main shell is deeply integrated with other elementary OS applications, Web (the default web browser based on GNOME Web)[12] and Code (a simple text editor).[13][14] Pantheon uses Gala as its window manager,[15] which is based on Mutter.[15]

* HOME TEST

Simply bought an Older Mac – which seemed sort of usable- could barely even browse the internet – however, after trying to install several operating systems – the only one which worked well happened to be Elementary OS- and the good news found many free applications to install with it – as well as few paid ones. It truly turns out to be an Excellent systems for using with older computers. Now it is fully usable with many applications – such as LibreWolf, LibreOffice, Photos Organic Maps, Educational Apps- such as for writing and Math- Geogebra, Follate for books, Graphics Apps and many others- and you may search for those at the app center below;

The only downside is most likely you will need a Computer specialist/ person – to install the system for you — unless you have the skills to do that yourself;and spending a bit of time like 20 minutes to half an hour to get used to basic Elementary and how to use it.

Drax stop burning wood Pellets – saving forests

Drax to stop burning B.C. wood pellets for U.K. energy: A significant milestone for the climate

March 12, 2026

səl̓ílwətaʔɬ (Tsleil-Waututh), xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam) and Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish) Territories (Vancouver, B.C.) — International energy giant Drax has begun to phase out burning forest biomass from British Columbia at its power station in the United Kingdom. As reported by The Guardian, Drax will stop burning “controversial” wood from forests in Canada at its North Yorkshire power station within the next year.

This is a significant milestone. It demonstrates that burning forest biomass to generate energy at utility-scale is untenable and sends a warning signal to all governments and investors currently supporting the global biomass industry: this dirty form of energy is a weak economic proposition.

B.C.’s failure to properly protect old growth and enact a biodiversity law have been exposed on the international stage. As other countries examine their wood pellet supply chains, the facts are clear – there is no sustainable way to source biomass for export from forests in B.C.

This move by Drax follows years of political controversy and public outcry in the U.K. over the company’s Canadian sourcing practices. Most recently, a Stand.earth investigation confirmed that Drax purchased whole logs cut from old growth forests in 2024, and very likely in 2025. This conclusive finding adds to an existing body of evidence in reports, documentaries, and whistleblower testimony.

However, the broader problems with the biomass export industry in Canada continue. While the company will no longer burn biomass from B.C. in the U.K., Drax continues to hold a near-monopoly on wood pellet production in the province, and is likely to continue sourcing from old growth and primary forests to supply customers in Asian and European countries.

These kits contain supplies including:

  • soap
  • a sterile plastic sheet
  • a razor blade
  • an umbilical cord tie
  • a blanket
  • latex gloves

Send an Emergency Birth Kit. Your act of kindness could save a life — or two.
