    Our textbooks (in Ukraine) used to include stuff on both windows and linux (specifically, linux mint with cinnamon), and included a chapter on libreoffice/openoffice

      Or indeed something that is really possible with anything. If it’s blurry it’s broken. Learn your camera settings and take another.

    It’s unfortunate how many replys are missing the good part of this and rather respond with criticism and negativity. We can do better than that folks. This is a good thing!

    More colorism? Wildly white people in an Indian textbook.

    I like seeing the Krita suggestion, but to just call it “open-source” with no clarification on that means would lead me to believe kids would skip over the hyphenated adjective without realizing it is often the key to finding other good, open-source software (e.g. a “open-source alternative to Reddit” query should lead one to Lemmy). I’m hoping it has a section or callout or even a vocab word on another page but I’m skeptical.

    (This is putting aside my quarrels with OSI, FSF, SPDX for the larger picture)

      Considering Linux have 15% marketshare in India, I’m pretty sure the curriculum already cover what open source is.

    I’ve never heard of Krita before, and now twice in one day. Please tell me why?

      Krita is cool software. It is in use here with artist David Revoy : https://www.davidrevoy.com/

      That’s because of the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon.

      As a software dev and open source contributor: stay the course, then! I’ll take open source software over a union 10 times out of 10. I get paid so well for what I do that it’s silly, and I love spending my time doing the stuff I like. I’ve been a union member in other fields, it’s not an experience I’d like to repeat.

      I seriously doubt anybody is contributing to open source for status & seniority. Respect, maybe. The status & seniority people become managers; as the old joke goes, that’s the best way to get them out of the workforce.
