I came across a project called folding@home in another sub which allows you to donate your computing power to help researchers find cures for covid-19 and some other terrible illnesses. I already had debian installed on a couple old laptops so I booted them up and installed the software. I hought this would be a great place to share it because the software is already packaged for a few Linux distributions and it's a great cause, also a cool way for you to put your old computers to good use.
If you'd like to check it out, you can find the project here: https://foldingathome.org/
