Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Why are they using it rather than windows?

    Probably because Google encourages OEMs to keep the hardware dirt cheap so that they can expose as many kids as possible to Google everything and they can harvest their data for life.

    My nephew's school has been using the same Chromebooks for at least the four years he's been there.

    How long do you expect them to last?

    @CapraObscura @ZeroHora

    They'll last until either: the school stops using gsuite or some other company comes up with something even trendier to market that is cheap enough to justify a grant.

    Nah ChromeOS devices have an "expiration date" after which they stop receiving updates and I suspect, stop working with their gsuite package.

    Huh, I am not surprised at all
