Sure, but what’s the price? Too low and it’s not worth the bother, too high and the person that’s trying to get a little extra mileage can’t afford it. I don’t know when I can run classes since I’m taking care of my kid or looking for work and battling mental health stuff.
Also, I’m hardly Mr Torvalds, I can barely get my machine to work properly.
Worked in a PC repair shop years ago, £50 to reinstall windows was a price people would pay fairly happily.
If you get customers happy to wait for bulk work you could probably do better. Plus doing it at home means no workshop to pay rent on. If its something on the side of your main job, even better.
I’ve had the same thoughts as you a lot of the time! Very similar. I’ve been wanting to run install clinics at my local library but…I only work there part time sooo…they won’t let me since it’s far outside my job description.
But as an outsider, you could look into hitting up your local library to run the occasional event. :D

Don’t be too hard on yourself. Now that Torvalds has opened the gate to AI slop in Linux, he doesn’t know how to get it working properly either.
