    I considered it, but I think the overwhelming, unexpected workload would be migrating data, training users, and working with them through migration to FOSS applications from Office and the like.

    It’s definitely not just going to be “installed Linux on your computer, have a great day!”

      Yeah I’d start with Ubuntu or mint. Standard apps like libreoffice scripted install and a desktop link to a YouTube learning series.

      Not covering data. Clean wipe only. Hence the “save it from the dump” line.

      I’d have the center drop off units with stickers to track owners and do the needful. No interaction to end users.

      Follow up could be Linux training workshops in a classroom setting.
