Microsoft will make millions of computers obsolete and will generate thousands of tonnes of eWaste on International eWaste Day.

I know the point is to reduce waste and combat software driven planned obsolescence, but given the circumstances, is there any way for me to score an extra laptop on the cheap? In other words, come October should I look for a deluge of old Windows 10 laptops on eBay or Salvation Army or something?

Oh definitely, most people aren’t going to use Linux because it’s not from a big corporation so they think it’ll be bad.
