Wow! After years of using GNU/Linux in schools we can see the users being pumped out of the school-system at a constant rate. Eventually these will be decisive folk in organizations large and small and growth will increase more rapidly. Way to go!

My Mission
My observations and opinions about IT are based on 40 years of use in science and technology and lately, in education. I like IT that is fast, cost-effective and reliable. My first use of GNU/Linux in 2001 was so remarkably better than what I had been using, I feel it is important work to share GNU/Linux with the world. Now that I'm retired I still use GNU/Linux on every computer in my home except the smartphones which run Android/Linux.Lately, I've been giving lots of thought to the world I inherited and which I will leave to my descendants. I'm planting grass, trees, flowers and vegetables in my large lot and I've ordered a Solo EV. I plan to charge my Solo by means of a tracking solar array. Life is good if you have a purpose. I do.

That is reasonable and the right thing to do but many jurisdictions look upon mandating anything as unfair competition between public and private sector. I consider FLOSS to be a cooperative product of all humanity so it should be exempt from thinking of the competitive aspect alone. Further M$ does not respect free markets and should be punished. It is a travesty what they were allowed to do for decades as if it were a proper business.
This is EXACTLY how it should be in education.
It is ridiculous that still many schools have mandatory Windows laptops and then in sociology and other lessons educate about internet and privacy security while being (illegally) exposed to the M$ marketing and NSA.
Schools and governments should be forbidden to use any M$ tools, or better, they should mandatory use FOSS!
Shame on those schools and governments who still subsidize criminal organisations!
