You’ve never had to support Linux if you think this. Hardware support is absolutely all over the board. It works but often requires tinkering, which is a support nightmare when you have hundreds of potentially thousands of users.

Presumably if you did this for a school you’d have standardised hardware that you control.

Sounds like a sweet reason for laptop vendors to provide the best linux hardware support once schools mandate free software!
