Analysts have warned Windows 10 end of life plans could spark a global torrent of e-waste, with millions of devices expected to be scrapped in the coming years.
Research from Canalys shows that up to 240 million PCs globally could be terminated as a result of the shift over to Windows 11, raising critical questions about device refreshes and the responsibility of vendors to extend life cycles.
Which distro?
+1 for Mint, +1 for Ubuntu
ALL OF THEM.
Debian.
Windows 10 has a 32bit version, Debian is one of the few distros that still support 32bit, so to stay safe… Debian.

Damn… it seems like they’re only going to support arm32 and amd64 in the SLTS. I still have some Eee 901 with touchscreen mod running 32bit Linux reasonably well. I know they’re 15 years old now, but it will be a pity to see them go.
man I love those old Eee PC’s! my dad gave me his old Eee 900 one when I was like 14 and I put Lubuntu on it and it was such a blast having this tiny little laptop I could take anywhere with a snes controller and play snes games on it without it taking any room, it came with a really cool Asus case made for it too. Sadly its just been sitting on my shelf collecting some dust not really sure what to do with it.
I hear Mint is great if you want something simpler.
I’ve been really enjoying PopOS lately. All my Steam games have run perfectly on it with no mucking around.
