Free Buses, Dark Screens
On the Thursday before Labor Day, the principals of New York City's public schools opened a memo from the Education Department. The free T-Mobile internet service built into 350,000 student Chromebooks would end that Sunday, August 31. Classes begin September 10. Four days of warning, ten days of scramble, and then the school year opens on machines that still power up, still glow, and can no longer reach anything. The laptop survives. The world inside it has been repossessed. During the pandemic the city handed out some 725,000 devices and never tracked how many still function; the Chromebook program was the sequel, the do-over, the one arriving with a plan attached.

Come to our Install Event! (Tomorrow, 25.03.26):
Waiting for an excuse to finally give Linux a shot? Get started by installing it on your computer tomorrow!Of course, we'll help you: Bring your laptop and charger and we will personally assist you with the installation of Linux as well as with your first steps and basic customization.
You can choose to keep your existing operating system and install Linux next to it.
Still, it's important to back up your data before you come, just to be on the safe side.
#ChromeBooks (all versions), #Apple #MacBook Pros (after Oct. 2016) and Apple MacBooks (12" model) are not well supported by Linux due to hardware restrictions, and we do not recommend installing Linux on those devices.

There's evidence that the first Chromebooks with Qualcomm Snapdragon X chips could be on the way, although so far we're just seeing the X1-P42-100 though, which is one of the lower-performance Snapdragon X chips. https://chromeunboxed.com/finally-snapdragon-x-plus-chromebooks-are-on-the-way/ #Chromebooks #Qualcomm #SnapdragonX
