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

@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.

@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 It's just like a bag of candy we want to share?

@Morpurgo we want to share laptops people need in these strange times to gain access to essential knowledge and daily use.

Limited to the Netherlands.

@justdude Nice to see something like this here in the Netherlands.

[justdude@mastodon.nl]

@xinit indeed

The volunteers are happy to serve and smiles are exchanged when the handover is there

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

@justdude no need to apologize. You are doing an awesome job. Keep up the great offer

[bobo_pk@chaos.social]

@BoydStephenSmithJr @justdude thanks for the hint. Funny that I seem US based. We do have @computertruhe in Germany. They offer a similar service.

> Funny that I seem US based.

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
