@pmbrandvold I hadn't heard of the Restart Project so thanks for that link!
I'm also in the "it would be nice" category and I've done some initial research in on-off times. At the Roseville area schools/library I think they have some limited repair classes and I'd offered to teach a class on some tech repair stuff but haven't heard anything back yet. I'd done some other looking around and noticed it's possible to rent a community space for relatively cheap and thought about doing that and making it an open invite etc.
I've got technical experience w/ linux and a lot of macos and other devices to feel comfortable tackling most things "reinstall OS + drivers" related. Could also do computer upgrade tasks if people already had parts. Things like swapping/installing ram or hard drives in peoples computers or the like.
I've also loved the idea of creating a community/recurring event on the "check out linux" or "don't be afraid of the command line" kind of events for anyone of any skill level.

@gregdosh I actually emailed the Roseville branch of the ramsey county library today inquiring about what it looks like for using space. I’m in the Roseville area so funny you mention it. I also like the idea of a recurring event. I came up on the help desk so feel like I can troubleshoot and resolve many things though windows kinda just sucks now and I’m less experienced with Linux. RAM/SSD upgrades is a good idea.
