Ban chromebooks
seriously they fucking suck and are useless
Chromeboks are the safety scissors of laptops. Like they look the part and you give them to kids, but they serve absolutely no real function if you need them for anything more than distracting a kindergartener.
Also the way they’re being put into schools seems anticompetitive
Not to mention planned obsolescence with their operating system only being maintained for certain models up to a couple years. Not to mention needing google admin workspace to properly manage them as a fleet… not to mention needing enterprise licensing to do things like run state testing software… not to mention that most companies sell a windows version of their netbooks/chromebook lines like dell with 3120 models… as a sysadmin it’s been the biggest pain in my ass bc the school I contract for has some legacy chromebooks that run outdated chrome and people are constantly expecting me to get shit to work on them that never will happen. No you can’t run this test software on it, the chromeOS version is out of date and I don’t own the company that makes the test software. Fuck chromebooks, netbooks are cool and I really like long battery life with a lightweight linux distro. chromeboxtech can help you open the bootloader so you can install things like galliumOS for that experience if you have old chromebooks laying around.
