I think my kids are more accepting of Linux on the family PC because of their school chrome books. We’ll see how it plays out when they start purchasing their own devices though.
I completely agree. The OP ignores the fact that Chromebooks run on Linux, and are essentially a gateway to it. There’s even official support for sideloading any Linux distro of choice.
The Chromebooks that kids use at school aren’t going to have Linux on them, nor will they have a useful terminal? The operating system abstractions kids learn with Chromebooks are basically useless
The Windows computers I used in school were locked down too, no terminal access or even basic settings. Google wants them to grow up and buy their own Chromebooks, and my point is that it is accessible then.

Of course, it forces just the worst window manager.
