“So I decided YES”
That kid is going to code and open source.
My high school got us windows laptops but they had i3s and terrible windows defender comfits so I swapped out the ssd, installed some ram (reason later), and installed Linux on it. I also exported the old drive image with windows on it into a VM so I can have all their spyware and stuff on it (hence the RAM). Before important state tests and whatnot I swap the old drive back so they don’t think I’m cheating.
Edit: Oxford comma
When you say tech teacher, like IT/Comp sci?
What kind of tech teacher doesn’t know what Linux is?

Yes! The crouton dual boot was an absolute gem; singlehandedly helped me survive high school boredom
What’s the tool of choice now?
Crostini. https://chromeos.dev/en/linux
A “one click” install of Debian (in a VM) that runs alongside your ChomeOS device. It’s a great starter tool for those getting used to Linux and even for the Linux Pro it gives you a terminal, which 99% of the time is all I need.
You can use GUI applications as well so GIMP and other tools are available.
Super easy, barely an inconvenience.
