Surely there are people who bought Chromebooks for college? Or boomers who bought the $245 Chromebook instead of the $285 Win10S manufactured ewaste laptop?
I snagged a Chromebook back in 2016 and used it for 9 years. It wasn’t speedy, but for small time browsing, terminal use (I rooted it and put a real Linux distro in there), and media watching it was just fine.
Nah, most of the school equipment/networks are monitored/blocked to hell and back. I’m not saying they can’t find loopholes, but they’re severely hampered, and when they get caught, it’s a big deal.
A lot of that chromeOS is people buying the cheapest hardware at Walmart and using it as their faptop.
Just like a lot of the Linux is probably steamdecks.
ChromeOS always disturbs me. Is there a 2.4% out there casually watching porn on side with their chromebooks during highschool geometry?
And why they switching to linux?

Also probably some folks who bought a Chromebook in bulk from a school for pennies on the dollar.
That’s the winning hypothesis, dumpster diving gooners.
Those are cheap and rugged. I bought a reconditioned Chromebook Think Pad for $30. I want to put Linux on it. But I haven’t found my 'roundtoit yet.
