cockroachinapartyhat 🪳<p>Anyone know of a program / model etc. for schools providing laptops running <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>linux</span></a> vs Chromebooks? We are exploring beginning some educational programs and in the long run a k-12 school, and keeping things open source would be in line with our philosophy.
