   the middle schooler: then I installed linux on my [school] chromebook

   me: um are you allowed to do that?

   middle schooler: I asked our tech teacher and he doesn't know what linux is so I decided yes

     @jordinn Just remind them school devices aren't for personal stuff. 😈

     @jordinn chromebooks already come with a version of Gentoo LiGNUx with the freedom removed, so I don't believe the middle schooler had to install Linux - rather I believe a version of GNU/Linux with freedom was installed, or the developer mode was enabled and the missing parts of GNU were installed.
     
     Why must one ask permission to install things on what should be your computer?
