@jppelt @GotNothing @fatboy I work #education IT. We use a lot of #Linux in the backend. But for client machines, you have to use something supported. People will riot if its not a known quantity.
As much as I would love to give every student a Linux device and have them work in Libre office, its just not going to happen. There is probably also the argument to be made that you need to give them the tools they're going to see in the future and at 3% share, they're simply not going to see Linux.

@strypey @jppelt @GotNothing @fatboy @lightweight I'm not saying I agree with the argument, but when we've tried to push FOSS over commercial solutions, this is usually what we hear from faculty and parents.
I hate with a passion things like "Microsoft Educator" programs or "Apple Lighthouse Schools". Because it is entirely that, locking in the next generation, "getting them while they're young".
But most people are not interested in technology idealism, and it is a big road block
