I have done several of these now, mostly for schools and students, but also for a couple of churches and some elderly folks without a lot of money and perfectly good "old" computers that aren't used for gaming and CAD and stuff.

Nice friendly video! Presentation was good quality too.

I will share it will people "scared" of Linux/computers because it's not too techno-bable, me thinks

Lower cost computer than a Raspberry Pi, with a nicer OS

I got my hp nc 4200 laptop for about 12$ It is 32bit only, but I can run LL 3.8 32bit just fine untill April 2021. Here is some specs
2GB ram installed, 2GB max
Intel pentium M 1,73GHz
60GB HDD
LL 3.8 32bit OS (I needed to install the OS myself no OS was preloaded)

Bought even slower with 32bit intel single core 1400MHz, 2GB of ram and 15 minutes lasting battery. Cost about 25$. Some lag but not too slow to use. boot time under 3 minutes. Even ran light browser video games on it.

There is a trend in thinking a low space consumption distro to be good only for older machines. Personally, nowadays - regardless of the machine - I would hesitate to ever again go anything systemwise burdensome, like, a gigabyte of RAM usage just for basic operations, having the palette of options the GNU/Linux world provides. There is no excuse for running heavy operating systems. In fact, operating systems should vanish or turn minimum entirely, but that, is a separate issue.
