I am using it on fedora from the yum repo and it's crashing for me too.

  $ rpm -q cursor
  cursor-3.0.4-1775123877.el8.x86_64

Apparently if launched with --verbose it works, but that's the same crash I was seeing without the verbose flag

Being on the internet archive and being able to pick up from a restored backup are two very different things

It's a wiki. Maybe you lose the edit history and stuff like that, but the actual content which is what matters should be very easy to recreate from those sources.

I ran it for a while on my ultra 24 until I just installed linux on it. But it was interesting dipping my toe in the solaris world

Chromebooks are also pretty good if google sheets/docs would suffice for excel/word.

They usually work well with printers, but I've run into some situations where I was just plain unable to get it to work with my Brother laser printer after a certain ChromeOS update. They screwed up something with the CUPS drivers and it just never worked.

On MacOS at least I have a chance of being able to fix this stuff. ChromeOS is so locked down you can't even fix things.

My son is in a co-op with around that number of kids, but that's total (through HS).

The co-op I was in 30 years ago was a bit smaller but sounds like it's still going strong (no clue how big it is these days though).

So there definitely are homeschooling co-ops around that size. I do wonder what the average size of a co-op is though

From those slides (I did have to open them via google, the direct link didn't seem to work):

  Discussion
  • Evidence from this study and others suggest that homeschoolers may not
  be a socially isolated group
  • Instead, homeschoolers in these samples seem to have peer networks
  and social connections that arise in conventional and unconventional
  social settings and they report being well-connected later in life
  • It is important to note that although this study contributes to the
  literature, it has methodological limitations (e.g. small sample, self-reports)

Dealing with adult problems shouldn't be something kids have to learn, as long as the problems scale with their development that's not a problem

Most of them can be turned into a vanilla linux laptop fairly easily, and even support custom coreboot firmware: https://docs.mrchromebox.tech/

That being said, it's also pretty easy to get a full linux shell and even install gui apps via flatpak or whatever.

If you haven't used something like i3/sway/awesomewm/hyprland on the linux side you won't know what you're missing.

While there are several apps to create custom keyboard commands, only yabai+skhd come close to what's available on linux, and it's not even that close tbh.

I’ve used i3 and awesomewm and bspwm etc etc. I’d be happy to never use them again!
