  • There is self hosting and there is self hosting.

    I run a proxmox machine with a dozen services but just looking at a guide like you send is overloading.

    I will save it as a useful reference but its beyond what people who are less tech inclined then me will need to start.

    Most people just need docker and some premade compose files. An llm can absolutely tell you how to install the first and create the second. People will know quickly if they want to learn more on their own or prefer to call a friendly nerd to do it for them.
















  • I agree with the sentiment but not the logic.

    Chromebooks popularity is down to them being one of the cheapests laptops to buy in bulk for schools.

    The “google” label is also somewhat attracting to them because familiarity and having plenty of experience, resources to build, update, support the platform, provide documentation. This for every language.

    A new linux alternative would mean they have to source compatible cheap devices they can buy in bulk and have to install it themselves on every one. A class i personally would love but is beyond what most schools can do.

    The few open source devs are also unlikely to provide that much support as schools may require. For (slightly bigger) reference my job is deep into the Microsoft ecosystem and we have “colleagues” paid by microsoft that provide consultancy on their stuff. (And to make sure they keep us as a customer)

    I hate it, i think tech literacy is important but this isnt something a new distro can fix.
