@pmbrandvold For windows there might be some really interesting things around debloating oem installs or removing AI features with tools like WinUtil. https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/winutil I'd be more than interested in doing classes or teaching on occasion depending on community interest as well. I've been hesitant to go at it alone myself before because I think this stuff does better with community and driving towards their needs rather than my own personal interests on what to teach or help with. I used to teach software developers at Target and I have been helping my mom with her tech for years and years. The mix of personas and needs and aptitude is a lot of fun for me. A (recurring) community give back day is what I've been trying to figure out how to start for a while. Especially in my local area. The Harriet Alexander Nature Center does building rentals and I was considering how fun it would be to encourage folks to come drop off computer stuff and go for a walk or something and then come back. https://cityofroseville.com/637/Building-Rentals#tab150b1097-e828-4c2e-b4b0-8af361033695_1

    @gregdosh @pmbrandvold been on very similar wavelength as you both. Been thinking of hosting some Linux install parties at local libraries or parks with shelters, power outlets, and wifi which there are at least a few solid options. How to promote and get folks to show up is a hurdle I don't have much idea about, but I have found there is no shortage of old spare laptops people have sitting on shelves or whatever that tend to run Linux perfectly well.
