Comment on Kids are short-circuiting their school-issued Chromebooks for TikTok clout

Fuck chromebooks anyways, Google shouldn’t be allowed to steal so much information about our youth directly from the devices they use at school. They should be using laptops with Linux installed on them, preferably Pop!_OS to preserve the kids privacy.

I don’t condone damaging school property, although I think it’s a lesser evil to Google’s privacy practices on Chromebooks.

  Pop!_OS is an Ubuntu-based Linux distribution featuring a custom GNOME desktop.
  
  It is designed to have a minimal amount of clutter on the desktop without distractions in order to allow the user to focus on work.
  
  This distro was also designed with security and privacy in mind.
  
  So students can more easily focus on their work while also being more secure and private while using an easy to use interface, I know it’s not the only one but its a good one!

    Linux mint or something fedora based are also good choices. Lots of flavors out here in the linux world.

I’m with you, but that’s not the reason these kids are doing this. It’s because they are idiots.
