Students or anyone who is the need for a free Linux Laptop?
We as Laptop Revive can provide one free of charge, no background checks. Just a friendly face and some basic agreements on paper and then we hand it over somewhere in the Netherlands.
Sounds like a miracle? No fact is that we already handed out more than 100 of them !
See https://laptoprevive.nl for the details

@justdude I'm in Zaan... considering options. I might send my kid to his middelbare tomorrow with deatails for his brugklas.

@justdude is it NL only?

@Bobo_PK indeed... Sorry for that
But we have a lot of English speakers who study or are in the need for a laptop@justdude no need to apologize. You are doing an awesome job. Keep up the great offer

@Bobo_PK @justdude You might see if there's a Free Geek (https://www.freegeek.org/) near you. You profile makes me think you are located in CA, possibly Alberta, and I don't know of the Free Geek near there -- the closest I could think of would be the one in Vancouver, but they shut down in 2022.
The one near me (https://www.freegeekarkansas.org/home) continues to provide free laptops and desktops, and I still drop off any hardware I don't have a plan to use there.
@BoydStephenSmithJr @justdude thanks for the hint. Funny that I seem US based. We do have @computertruhe in Germany. They offer a similar service.

Oh, hah! Yeah, that's me misreading your profile section "Alerta, Alerta" as "Alberta, Alberta". My bad. My eyes and assumptions keep getting worse as I age.

@justdude how awesome! I'm not in need of a laptop (and neither am I in the Netherlands) but I can think of situations where this would've been a lifesaver

@justdude
This is honestly one of the coolest initiatives I have ever seen. Would love to start something like this in my locality too
Very inspiring to be frank🫡 -

In je berichtje zeg je "students or anyone who is in need of a laptop" maar op de site staat wanneer je er een wil aanvragen "Laptop Revive verstrekt alleen laptops aan leerlingen en studenten van erkende instellingen." Hoe kan dan iemand die geen student is een laptop aanvragen? -

@justdude that is awesome, I’m guessing this putting older machines and Microsoft abandoned perfectly good laptops to a good use
