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.

I have seen this used in school situations with 3+ seats per PC.
that can add up when dealing with a dozen+ PCs.
For home use, not much a benefit, but I did have it setup years ago for the grandkids.
When you have like 30 kids in a class and a limited budget then yeah, makes a lot of sense to come up with solutions like this.
For these two though if I knew them I'd just straight up give them a second PC for free to save them the hassle. You can do amazing things with refurbished PCs when budget and space constraints are a problem.
