It's a learning experience for kids. It teaches them that they can jailbreak hardware and install free software on it.
The best educational things the school can do: Give the laptops to the kids free and clear, and tell them how to install Ubuntu.
- heresie-dabord 3y agoIt's a learning experience for children: have a close and critical look at how the adults around them make personal and institutional purchasing choices. It's a broken system that takes the environment for granted. That said, Google offers ChromeOS Flex [1] for most devices that have reached the end of main support. I have upgraded several long-serving Chromebooks this way. They will be running for years more.

He said he couldn't even find one on GitHub. Then I felt sorry for him, poking around on strangers' repos on GitHub for kernel-mode stuff. Who knows what you could pick up in those dark corners.
