       | I've been doing some digging and as I understand from people
       | working inside the city, it is up to each of the 90+
       | municipalities of Denmark to make the decision on who will be
       | their next vendor to fill the gaps left by Chromebooks.
       | 
       | This is really just the beginning. No US vendor who bakes in data
       | transfers back home is going to be safe.
       | 
       | The only OS which is fit for purpose is Linux. Schools aren't
       | going to want anything to do with a solution that isn't as easy
       | to manage as Google Workspaces for Education.
       | 
       | If you're someone who is into this space or are passionate about
       | FOSS solutions for education and wants a Danish co-founder to put
       | together a turnkey service can you reach out to me at my username
       | at skiff dot com?
