By going all-in on Linux, teacher Robert Maynord ensured his school was ready for remote learning—even before it needed to be.

      That was only in the 90s. Now they have a vibrant ecosystem where they let students have full root access to there machines.

      If things go wrong they just reimage.

          If your not spending tons of money on vendor lock in you can spend it else where.

      It’s a private school, not much you can do (also 0 tech budget ≠ broke)

      Hehe if you’re REALLY broke you get “benevolent” corporate grants for things like cheap Chromebooks, so Google can write off a huge donation while vendor-locking school infrastructure and student mindshare into their “cloud services.”

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
