Excellent plan! I’m currently involved in helping to start up a repair cafe in our town and intend including a Linux repair cafe as part of the deal.
We need demonstrator laptops so that people can see and try Linux so they can understand what they could be getting done to their old kit.
I’ve already picked up one 12yo Acer laptop earlier in the week and picking up two similarly aged Toshibas later today. Got these via #Freegle
