Schools run Windows?
These days it is all Chrome OS
Back in my day my school used windows. Activated by the computers teacher from some bootleg cd, as god intended.
I am eastern european and haven't seen a school computer running chrome os in my life.
god bless the old world, i'm yet to see chromeos in person
To be fair, the computers here are older than chromeos
Our computers got updated in 2023...
Do you happen to go to the same school as some politician's children ?
No, atleast I don't think so because if that was the case the stairs wouldn't have been an active hazard to everyone on them. I think they got updated because they were old thin clients running windows xp remoted into a windows 7 vm or machine.

Somebody uses chromeos ?
I teach at a business college and a ton of my students buy Chromebooks because they're cheap and just use cloud-based software. Windows is doomed as an OS because an entire generation has grown up never using it.
It is surprising Google hasn't completely dominated. I'm interested to see what will happen as Chrome OS slowly becomes Android.
Our schools here barely even use computers at all. Chrome OS just does not exist
Not so surprising with windoze's ever increasing system requirements.
Even the shittiest of laptops a school district would buy new support windows 11. It's only 7+ year old machines.
Never seen one run chrome os. It was either Windows or lightweight linux like XFCE
In the US it is pretty common
I've never seen ChromeOS. I think it's just not a thing in my country.
Might just be a US thing, it's all I've seen in schools here (for daily use I mean, I did see a 3d modeling class using Windows desktops though)
Is your country under sanctions from the US?
Quite the opposite!
@possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip okay, I won't be vague. I'm from Israel. Not hiding it, you can find out pretty easily from my comment history.
And in case you wondered, yes, I find the genocide in Gaza abhorrent and unacceptable. This is not the place to talk about this though so let's leave it at that.
Interesting
Here in the US Chomebooks are very popular in school because they are cheap, durable and easy to lock down and manage.
I see it sold in shops. I never saw it actually being used though.
