I did this back in the day! The tool of choice as the time was crouton, because it came with a keybinding that let us stealthily switch back to the ChromeOS desktop whenever the teacher walked by :)
I hate that I just read the words " back in the day" in the context of chromebooks. this feels too new for me xD
Chromebooks came out like 3 years ago riiight?
Yes! The crouton dual boot was an absolute gem; singlehandedly helped me survive high school boredom
My high school got us windows laptops but they had i3s and terrible windows defender configs 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 when necessary (hence the RAM). Before important state tests and whatnot I swap the old drive back so they don’t think I’m cheating.

That kid is going to code and open source.
When you say tech teacher, like IT/Comp sci?
What kind of tech teacher doesn’t know what Linux is?
