I kinda wish I had the time and knowledge to volunteer at my local commu center and do a "Save your old computer from the Dump!" Free upgrade! ~to~ ~Linux~" drive.

Doing it free means they won't take care of it or care. Don't dump that on yourself.

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!”
