Ideas for promoting Linux in YT video? (poptalk.scrubbles.tech)

Unique ask, but I hope some folks here will help me out a bit. I'm talking with a youtube creator who focuses on waste in society, and they are interested in doing a youtube video on Windows 11 and the planned obsolence around ending Windows 10, and requiring the TPM.

Part of this that I'm pushing is the "Don't throw it out, install Linux". While I can describe a good amount, does anyone have any good resources that you recommend that I can forward on about what Linux is, and why someone may want to look into it? This would be for someone who is non technical - think an average Macbook user.

Appreciate any links or youtube videos or anything you may have stored away for this teaching Linux!

Make a split-screen video:

Left side: Windows user performing a system update.

Right Side: Linux user performing a system update. And then editing a document. And then answering some messages. And then a bit of shopping. And then playing a game. All while the Windows user is still waiting for the update to finish.

Then reveal that the Linux system has a fraction of the RAM and a much older CPU than the Windows system.
