My school actually had Linux mint set up for everything. It even resetted every time you boot it, so you couldn't do any real damage. The only reason we had this was, because one of our CS teachers was very good and actually cared. He is also the one who managed the entire IT infrastructure.

Thats awesome. Was Mrchromebox your teacher?

[-] cows_are_underrated@feddit.org 3 points 1 month ago

I dont know who that is, so i guess no.

Mrchromebox made a replacement firmware for chromebooks so you can install other operating systems on them.

Nice! Hadn’t heard of this project. The old chromebooks are easy to find in e-waste lots, mostly from schools. Hardware’s not ancient. Presumably optimized for web services. Just a lot of broken screens and keyboards.

But if you stack ‘em like server blades in a beowulf cluster you might have a decently power-efficient and scalable host for microservices, web apps, lemmy instances, whatever. With UPS for each node lol. Basically free.

I dunno, could be a fun class project for the kids to learn on with a minimal budget?

Intersting. He devinetively wasnt him. We also didnt had chromebooks. We had thinkpads and normal office PCs (all with the same configuration)
