Can’t be properly third world without a modern computing deficit, right? 🤔
I miss how i used to think Capitalism was healthy and competition from rival businesses fostered innovation - until they all teamed up against us :(
That’s what the “deregulation” “conservatives” have been screeching about for the past few decades is all about.

Now is the right time to start a small business migrating Windows 10 EOL machines to Linux for people who can’t afford new machines and offering service plans to help them if they’re stuck.
That’s basically how Red Hat does it for corporations, they don’t sell Linux, but they sell service and support for it.
Will it be exceptionally profitable? Not at all.
Will it be a pro-social and helpful thing to do for your community while making maybe enough money to scrape by? Yes.
This is how you build community.
EDIT: If you’re independently wealthy or have the support structures, you can also just do it all for free which is even more pro-social, but most of us need at least a meager income in exchange for our time and labor to stay alive, sadly.
