Ideas for promoting Linux in YT video? (poptalk.scrubbles.tech)

Unique ask, but I hope some folks here will help me out a bit. I'm talking with a youtube creator who focuses on waste in society, and they are interested in doing a youtube video on Windows 11 and the planned obsolence around ending Windows 10, and requiring the TPM.

Part of this that I'm pushing is the "Don't throw it out, install Linux". While I can describe a good amount, does anyone have any good resources that you recommend that I can forward on about what Linux is, and why someone may want to look into it? This would be for someone who is non technical - think an average Macbook user.

Appreciate any links or youtube videos or anything you may have stored away for this teaching Linux!

Given their focus, they might be interested in taking a look at some of the many volunteer outfits that refurbish old hardware rather than letting it become e-waste and sell the resulting systems for cheap to those who'd otherwise be priced out of the market. Most of those tend to install some flavor of Linux to avoid paying for OS licenses.

Great idea! I have a local place that does that near me!
