I agree emotionally, but practically it's hard to get education-level support it it.
Why so? Linux is great for education especially.
There's not a lot of education suppliers for linux. Most teachers aren't techies, so you need a good support network.
On a philosophical level, I abundantly agree that a FOSS system should be in education - which other areas of general education do we train our kids in using Company X's stuff?
I agree, we complain about the lack of STEM grads and CS education then we give them a web browser and some "Apps" to learn computing. Heading in the wrong direction.
Well, ChromeOS is based on the Linux kernel...
Yes, but one has to go out of the way to enable normal Linux environment there (developer mode, chroot and so on). It should really be easier, and it could provide advanced mode with normal Wayland based DE, without requiring one to jump through hoops for it.
