I managed to get a few and so far am impressed. They are definitely on the chunky side but that probably comes with the durability

Being on the internet archive and being able to pick up from a restored backup are two very different things

nvidia drivers are pretty easy to install now that all of AI is trained on nvidia drivers on linux

I ran it for a while on my ultra 24 until I just installed linux on it. But it was interesting dipping my toe in the solaris world

Chromebooks are also pretty good if google sheets/docs would suffice for excel/word.

My son is in a co-op with around that number of kids, but that's total (through HS).

The co-op I was in 30 years ago was a bit smaller but sounds like it's still going strong (no clue how big it is these days though).

So there definitely are homeschooling co-ops around that size. I do wonder what the average size of a co-op is though

From those slides (I did have to open them via google, the direct link didn't seem to work):

  Discussion
  • Evidence from this study and others suggest that homeschoolers may not
  be a socially isolated group
  • Instead, homeschoolers in these samples seem to have peer networks
  and social connections that arise in conventional and unconventional
  social settings and they report being well-connected later in life
  • It is important to note that although this study contributes to the
  literature, it has methodological limitations (e.g. small sample, self-reports)

Dealing with adult problems shouldn't be something kids have to learn, as long as the problems scale with their development that's not a problem

Most of them can be turned into a vanilla linux laptop fairly easily, and even support custom coreboot firmware: https://docs.mrchromebox.tech/

That being said, it's also pretty easy to get a full linux shell and even install gui apps via flatpak or whatever.

If you haven't used something like i3/sway/awesomewm/hyprland on the linux side you won't know what you're missing.

While there are several apps to create custom keyboard commands, only yabai+skhd come close to what's available on linux, and it's not even that close tbh.

yabai is as close as I've seen, but yeah nothing close to awesomewm or even something like sawywm

In the data science/engineering world apache arrow is the bridge between languages, so you don't actually need to serialize into language specific structures which is really nice
