CorvOS: a highly customized GNU / Linux distribution for the classroom

CorvOS Linux

There are many distributions, so many that sometimes we do not decide on one. Well, I'm going to make it a little more difficult for you or maybe something easier, since I'm going to tell you about another new distribution that you may not know about. This is the GNU / Linux distribution called CorvOS. It is not a distribution for general use, but its creators have created it with a clear objective, to be a good distro for the classroom and educational centers.

CorvOS is therefore an educational Linux distribution Ready to use by educators and students who are familiar with Linux environments, and if they are not, perhaps this is a good reason to start. It is a shame to see how many schools invest in iPads and Chromeboosk, in many cases forcing their students to buy Apple products and not provide an alternative. This mental rigidity of certain educational centers and schools should change immediately, and think that not everyone can afford these products or that, even if the center gives them to the student, those students will get used to them and perhaps once they are out of the environment They cannot acquire them to use them ...

Aaron Prisk is an innovator in education, and an IT great who has implemented this CorvOS distro in the educational center where he works. That school has been transformed thanks to free and open source software thanks to its distribution for schools that has given it a personal touch. Among other things, it has helped the center have more functional computers, since they have been able to revive old computers that were in disuse due to the modern versions of Windows that made them slow.

Aaron decided to create this distro after having tested and implemented other educational distros at the school where he works, such as Edubuntu, UberStudent, etc. These distros were pretty good, but all of them were missing something they needed, so it's best to create a new one with everything you need. I especially missed a system that could get the environment ready to work with the next lesson or another student quickly. That's why he took Xubuntu and modified packages, files, made new scripts, etc. The result CorvOS...
