- victorbjorklund 3y agoThe education part is tinkering with hardware and linux.

- Xelynega 3y agoIMO arch or similar is going to do more towards teaching Linux than raspian will. Just install that on a cheap laptop/phone and play around with different apps/configs. For hardware learning pis arent even that great, an stm32, Arduino , or esp32 is a fraction of the cost(so you don't have to worry about burning the io pins out as much) and the toolchain is basically the same(simpler I'd argue even)
- victorbjorklund 3y agoYou can use arch on raspberry pi too. https://itsfoss.com/install-arch-raspberry-pi/ https://itsfoss.com/install-arch-raspberry-pi/ But not sure I agree that arch is the best linux distro to start with for someone new to computers that grew up on an Ipad.
- passivegains 3y agoYeah, but devices aren't very useful for education if the students can't type on them.
- borisgolovnev 3y agoI got a pretty decent chromebook on eBay for 70 euros. With pretty good display, keyboard, touchpad, touchscreen, 8Gb of RAM and a battery. Runs linux great. Apparently chromebooks dominate education market nowadays, very inexpensive and arguably more useful than a Raspberry pi.
