I have been struggling to decide what to do with my old rendering machines… But they are getting less useful for rendering by the day.

I encountered some Ukrainian refugees in my language class, and some of them don’t have PCs.

It must be hard for them to look up information etc.

I want to clean up my old machines and donate them… But won’t have a Windows licence. I’m also not sure the best way to install Windows if they will be using Russian or Ukrainian language.

Is there a cheap Windows licence or free for Windows this situation?

In the old days I would have pirated it but I don’t want to put them in that situation.

      As a windows smoothbrain bot I can confirm pop os is straightforward to operate and plain easy if someone helps the person with basic problems (how to find things, how to install things etc).

      I’ll throw my hat in the ring for Zorin OS. It’s similarity to Windows is a lot greater than most distros, so switching will be easy. It’s also based on Ubuntu, like Pop :)
