I was curious if anyone has any tips on where to look for computers/laptops about to be thrown out because its to outdated to run modern windows. I was thinking replacing the OS with a user friendly version of linux and giving it to people that would otherwise have to buy a new laptop/pc. I have heard businesses and schools end up throwing out their old stuff when they get it replaced though idk how I would go about asking.
There may be a community run place that does this sort of thing.
I lived in a city that had a used computer/parts shop connected to a community run employment/social outreach type place.
That’s where I started my Linux journey a decade ago.
Other than that… Maybe a site like kijiji, or (spits on ground) FB marketplace, or similar.
People will post ads for free junk they don’t know how to dispose of.
