I went to the local repair cafe and spoke to them about running an information session on switching old computers to linux.
They're open to it, so I'll have to put some things together and figure out a date.
I figure I could always make a big deal about linux gaming and turning your old hardware into a steam deck, then targeting it at teenagers in the area if I want to boost numbers
That's a really great idea man!
I want to keep things simple and just talk about Linux Mint, but I'll talk about Bazzite, Batocera, and SteamOS if it gets the numbers in
