Over the past month, I've put Linux Mint 22.2 "Zara" on 4 machines and all the owners are happy (with one of them being me) (lemmy.ml)

Some of these machines literally took 5 minutes to get from boot to watching a YouTube video, and now they can do so in a fraction of that time.

I'm super-interested in helping people reduce e-waste in my community now, and am wondering about how to go about advertising my willingness to help strangers restore their old/slow/Win11-ineligible machines. I wish I got over the fear of OS-wiping years ago!
