There might be many cheap Chromebooks for sale in Denmark this summer (article in Danish)
Schools have to prove that there isn’t being collected data on the kids. A ton of data is being collected all the time using ChromeOS. That it took so long to ban these in schools is the insane part of this story.
But what is the alternative?? Don’t school offices use windows and doesn’t windows also collect data?
What if I told you, there’s an operating system that doesn’t do that?
No I know. But is Linux really an option that you can force onto the public? I like it myself but I don’t see it being used by people who just want things to work out of the box
It’s a great option for schools. It’s free. It runs on low cost hardware. It reduces e-waste. It promotes a deeper understanding of IT. It promotes awareness of privacy issues, etc. Obviously, it requires more knowledgeable staff but it’s also not black magic. A few hours of instruction and you can set up one of the user friendly distros like a pro.
