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!

This, exactly. As much as I'd want to recommend my personal setup, it's just easier to just tell people to install Linux Mint, both for myself and for them, because of the little amount of steps one would need to do in order to get a working system.

I do wish someone would come up with something similar but with KDE, because of how similar they are to Windows UI, especially Windows 7. Maybe that's just me.
