Can’t upgrade to Windows 11? This Linux project wants to save your old PC from the scrapheap when Windows 10 support ends

I actually am in for this, in fact I’m considering letting know my IT Support firms or otherwise the job I work at to open my little repair café for a very small fee (starting at 1 euros basically), I would install Linux to affected computers (with consent)
Now I obviously won’t point out which and where even if my OSINT conscious self is telling me to not do it now after posting but other than that yeah

That being said @anonymous326 makes a great point about how this whole thing is being framed as “Linux or throw your computer away”
there should definitely be a balancing act, like here for example:

But we should at least let the user know that assuming your usage is just web browsing, doing a little documents, emails. Linux is perfectly viable even if you have to now get a new learning curve.
