I just love working with computers and I have a bit of money. Problem is that I don't have a job, and this hobby is quite expensive. So, I thought of perhaps trying to make at least a little bit of money from it by buying old and broken laptops, repairing them, and then reselling them. Perhaps if I get a laptop that's compatible with Libreboot, such as the Lenovo ThinkPad T480, I could also flash Libreboot onto it.

Nevertheless, I'm also planning to get a real job soon.

He'll have to buy recent hardware. Maybe broken gaming laptops. Then repair, install Windows and sell for a large markup.
