Can we push to switch those PCs to #Linux instead of tossing them into a landfill?https://www.reuters.com/technology/microsoft-ending-support-windows-10-could-send-240-mln-pcs-landfills-report-2023-12-21/

@ben it'd be nice to get some IRL community effort like the old Linux Install Parties where people could bring their computers and get help with putting Linux on them.Should go a lot smoother with the current state of Linux.

@taxorubio @Oslugr these computers are not obsolete, Microsoft just decided to prevent them from running Windows 11.I am suggesting to help people keep their very capable computers functional by replacing the "expired" Windows 10 with Linux.
