Non-chromified Linux. It's free, it's better suited to educational purposes than Windows, it runs on anything, and it's actually used in professional settings, unlike ChromeOS.
Listen, I get that Lemmy has a rather unproportionally large user base of Linux users. I like Linux for what it is, I really do. But if you think the job would have been easier by handing users who couldn't operate Windows a Linux laptop you're lost in the sauce. And honestly if you think ChromeOS isn't used in professional settings then you really have no business attempting to suggest a ChromeOS alternative for what is usually the largest Tech Departments, in terms of number of end users, in the majority of Cities and Counties across the U.S.
