If you can write code to drive hardware from pinouts I think you can click a button to enable Linux apps.
Writing code means not requiring Linux apps.
Pis don’t require Linux, they support Linux. If you want to teach kids on RISC OS like I was in the late 90s, there isn’t anything stopping you.
You were that is all true. I was speaking more to the Chromebook model, not so much what someone wants to or needs to run on a Pi.
I don't feel all that good about developments on things like iPads and Chromebooks. Not for stem type tasks.
yes really, this is nearly spectrum-opposite of a chromebook (desgined to keep you in a prebuilt ecosystem)
