I want to find the most sustainable operating system, because computers nowadays waste a lot of energy, because of data collection and data processing. Avoiding unnecessary processes and using resources in a mindful way could reduce the CO2 output on the whole world.

This discussion grew very fast and I put all links to other platforms in the end of the blog article.

    ok, I think I get it now. So not only the same hardware can be shared for different desktop environments, but even the same tools to work together. It definitely would be an interesting project, but it would still use a lot of energy, because everyone connected to it have to stream the desktop permanently. Just using a collaboration software would use less energy.

    btw. CryptPad is a really cool open source collaboration tool.

      Yes, there are also some others. Energy use , if it’s from renevable resource, “green Energy”, isn’t so relevant. Also a server with a normal social network, like Lemmy or others, with a lot of users need a lot of energy, not so relevant if it host a social network or an OS, I think.
