Eh, as a homeschooler parent and a household of Linux users, more like Linux are being homeschooled and Apple is a fancy private school for rich folk (and scholarships for the not so well off of course)

most linux distros are easier to install and use then windows (think Ubuntu or Mint, as long as you don't rely on stuff like ms office or photoshop, which don't work that well)

I thought about your comment. My conclusion: a Linux laptop doesn't need as much space as a normal sized chicken. It's cleaner too.
