I have a spare laptop I could ship, it's running Linux now and cannot "officially" run Win11. It's a little older, Lenovo X1 Carbon with a chipped case & wonky touch bar for the Fn keys, but it works perfectly fine.

If you're interested and want to drop a way to contact you, I'll figure out a way to ship it to you. Otherwise, as much as I loathe sending you to Facebook, the local "buy nothing" groups another commentor recommended sounds like a good place to start.

Good luck!

Use General Delivery, it is an elite USPS hack.

A great service. Commonly used by long distance hikers.
Not sure about elite but this works to get mail without an address
(to the top) take up this very generous person on the offer and start using their laptop. you've said in a number of threads using the desktop is the biggest hurdle - so use this laptop.
I had a Macbook Pro intel. I can ship it as well. Drop your email to me.
Im in a similar situation as op. If he doesn't take this up, could I?
Email me your info. I will ship one.
careful the guy created an account 9h ago, I would not trust him.
Strongly agree. Especially with the name, highly suspicious, feels like an opportunity to get a free laptop mimicking as a person who needs real help.
