Gen-X/A2 ... it it ain't easy/zero-IQ then it's not worth attempting :-) Look up the US term "DEI" ..... The SCHOOL - well - the the profit per-student likely dictates its sympathies ..... Somewhere, at least for now, there WILL be some who actually want to learn/practice the Black Arts of Linux/Unix and do-it-yourself programming. HIRE THEM ! Kinda worried about BEYOND Now ..... As some point the "AI" will be called upon to do it all. Then, for people, it's all MAGIC afterwards. NO comprehension of what/why/how. I speak as an oracle here ... just watch ...... SOON NOW - the "AI" will be giving advice/code on how to improve the "AI". Humans won't Get It - and will just sign-off on the upgrades in hope of more $$$. THAT ought to be interesting :-) A little bit of advice ... while you can ... get a fairly good general-purpose PC and install one of the BSDs. OpenIndiana/Solaris is maybe an offbeat alt (it's OK) and even the odd Plan-9 can be useful (though intended for distributed systems). This will give you fair access while kinda circumventing the "AI"s and spy apps and such for awhile.
