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.

    It’s doable but it’ll take a lot of learning and experience to actually make money. There’s always plenty of stuff available that is in working order for pretty low prices so competing with that will be tough. Also there are lots of established players in that field, so it’ll be hard to compete.
