Hello everyone,
As ever, I appreciate the passion that’s being brought to this conversation.
It looks like there’s some disagreement about what we’re trying to achieve and how best to do it.
Disagreement is ok and often to be expected in a community space like this, so it’s important that when we disagree, we do so kindly and remember that no one has a fully complete perspective - let’s remember to share our perspectives with humility. I’ve set this topic to slow mode to allow for more time for reflection before posting.
As mods, perhaps we should have offered a little more guidance on Restart’s aims here.
Our primary purpose is to offer basic guidance around this issue to people who organise community repair events. While we hope to provide some additional resources (such as a brief intro on alternatives to Windows 11 for unsupported devices), our intention is to focus on listing 3rd party resources that cover the technicalities (e.g. on how to install/use Linux).
As Monique said, we support community repair but don’t prescribe technical solutions.
@Joslet_Nicolas, it sounds like you have something more ambitious in mind. Though I’m wondering whether the length of some of your posts makes it a little hard to understand what that is.
Would you be able to outline your concept in a few sentences?
