Hi,
I will be writing petition to my government (Poland) to try to get them to ban Windows at schools. I believe it should be illegal to force children to use systems that are paid and use children’s data for AI and advertising.
Maybe you will do it as well? Let’s end this insane practice.

    This and banning Windows is silly… Ban the functions you don’t want… That way other OSs are lumped in or the OS can be configured appropriately.

    Chromebooks and iPads for kids here just made better (brain rot) consumers that know less about computers than their parents and even grandparents.

    I’m all for pushing to Linux or de-shittified systems, but “banning Windows” doesn’t suffice and the bigger alternatives have the same problems and/or worse.

      It will at least help getting rid of Windows dominance. It is not just about pushing Linux itself, but creating a market with many operating systems. While not ideal for the school, because its preferable to have Linux as the default, still better than everyone using Windows.

          Creating a market with many operating systems

          Important to note, especially Open Source. Meaning the government knows what the operating system does and has more control over it than over Windows. Also having many operating systems to choose from is good, because not a single community or organization would control all of them.

          Do you think this is bad?
