    For schools and universities a lot of them use Zoom (and then a brief stint using Google Meets) at least in the US.

    They definitely broke into the mainstream once the pandemic hit with American schools and other institutions. Schools are great clients for nonfree software because you get to groom children into using your product which will carry on with them all through life (the Chromebook model).

      ugh

      yeah I guess that makes sense, I’m not school age, but I know some people who were during 2020 and most of their shit was on zoom

      there is an elementary/middle school near me that uses linux and teaches open source but its like a charter or magnet or something in a wealthy suburb iirc so idk how to feel about that
