    Everything I did on the school pcs would’ve been just as easy and likely easier to do with Linux. Our 7 PCs were slow as hell and that was when those PCs were new.

    ChromeOS flex could also be a way to go for education. You can manage them through Google admin if you have Google workspace for the district.

        I believe so, I’m not an IT admin but I believe that’s all my school just had for their enterprise enrollments. Would give you more restrictive control over the students than you would on linux

        I feel like ChromeOS in schools is a big part of the current problem with students reaching college in a tech-illiterate state

          I agree. School admins don’t care. They want the most control over the hardware issued to students and google’s stack is admittedly much better than what you can do on windows and mac.
