> Students can't run `git --help`, `python`, or even `adb` on Chromebooks.
> (Students can't run `git` on a Chromebook without transpiling to WASM (on a different machine) and running all apps as the same user account without SELinux or `ls -Z` on the host).
> Students can run `bash`, `git`, and `python` on Linux / Mac / or Windows computers.
> There should be a "Computers for STEM" spec.

Podman and podman-desktop run rootless containers (without having root).

E.g. https://vscode.dev/ https://vscode.dev/ runs in a browser tab on a Chromebook and supports Pyodide and IIUC hopefully more native Python in WASM support soon?
Hopefully Bash, Git, and e.g. Python will work offline on the kids' Chromebooks someday.
