@jordinn oh, if you haven't heard of @vkc she does AMAZING Linux videos. I've been a web developer for a decade, and a tech nerd for 30 years, and every video she publishes teaches me new things. Highly recommend you look her up on peertube, or here's her YouTube channel if you prefer:
@jordinn the tech teacher doesn't know what linux is?
to me that sounds like a huge red flag, like it makes me question their qualifications as a tech teacher.
heck even some non-techie people know what linux is at the very least and ...
your telling me this person who is suppose to be educating tech, the person who's job it is to know these things, doesn't know?!
@loganer@jordinn it would be great if schools had the money they needed and a dedicated and qualified ‘tech teacher’ (at all levels of school) was a thing.
@lauren@jordinn
I beg to disagree. This young person showed respect for the teacher (asking) combined with craftiness and skill. Very winning combination
@Island_Martha@jordinn What won't end well is putting Linux on a Chromebook you presumably don't own, leveraging the fact that there was no reason to expect the teacher to understand the question. Since a school Chromebook is almost certainly in a Managed mode configuration, installing Linux means disabling management to enter development mode (which also wipes school's settings). Most modern Chromebooks can run Linux in a container without wiping, but that doesn't sound like what was going on here.
