This is a cool initiative but I can&#x27;t help but think the author has misunderstood a few things:<p>&gt; Ubuntu is the name of the specific Linux OS that Penn Manor students run on, and has many default programs and security measures — such as a &quot;sudo&quot; account with temporarily decreased privileges for students to use when performing administrative tasks that could otherwise corrupt their system — that make it a perfect fit for students to explore computing on.
