Physically removing the nVidia cards from desktop computers is not hard and
not "putting money into them". I keep on thinking it is the best solution.
You would only want to check first whether 'lspci' indicates that there is a
"VGA compatible controller" inside the Intel processor. You probably run this
command anyway to discover the nVidia card.
Your "average folks" will not have any trouble with Intel graphics. On the
contrary, having to boot an most outdated kernel (because it has the evil
blob) will be troublesome.
