John HarrisWe managed to get the world off of Internet Explorer, and it had the OS maker behind it. We can do it again with Chrome.
Farbs@rodneylives First we'll to need to find schoolkids an alternative to chromebooks.
anonimno@Farbs @rodneylives that‘s easy … get them old laptops with #Linux and they should use #Firefox and schools own #Nextcloud. All it needs is a 2 people in IT and one server rack. That’s it … that’s the invest needed …
@anonimno I think you missed the bit where all the teachers need to retain and someone needs to develop that training and all the kids currently using Chromebooks have to retrain and government policy has to change and no school has one full-time IT employee let alone two and all the devices have to be replaced and nobody manufactures cheap sturdy Linux laptops like they do with Chromebooks. Oh, and Linux never, ever, ever works properly out of the box.
But I agree it would be nice.
@Farbs „government policy has to change“ that is your Catch 22. All the rest? Doable.
