Ideas for promoting Linux in YT video? (poptalk.scrubbles.tech)

Unique ask, but I hope some folks here will help me out a bit. I'm talking with a youtube creator who focuses on waste in society, and they are interested in doing a youtube video on Windows 11 and the planned obsolence around ending Windows 10, and requiring the TPM.

Part of this that I'm pushing is the "Don't throw it out, install Linux". While I can describe a good amount, does anyone have any good resources that you recommend that I can forward on about what Linux is, and why someone may want to look into it? This would be for someone who is non technical - think an average Macbook user.

Appreciate any links or youtube videos or anything you may have stored away for this teaching Linux!

I remember a talk about this exact concept. KDE Eco was announced a ways back but it's KDE's initiative to remind people that Linux offers a more environmentally friendly option for computing, preventing the creation of E-waste, a godawful source of toxic pollutants in itself, but also in many other ways that play out across the computing hardware lifecycle. Anyone who claims to care about the environment, the global south, or even just the affordability of personal computing should be on board.
