    maybe we can get those on the cheap and install linux on them?

    They’re pretty much never thrown out when decommissioned, they’re mostly sold to refurbishing companies that clean them and sell them to consumers or developing countries. So it should be pretty easy to get your hands on them actually. I recently bought a thinkpad T470 for $200 with decent i5 CPU, 16gb ram and 256gb NVME.
