I know people will go “and everbody clapped”/
“never happened” but I did meet tech nerds at both middle and high school. I wasn’t deep into tech stuff by 13, but I already had growing passion by then, and when I was 16 or so I went to a program (public and free) school that focused on tech, where I met a bunch of people who had been tinkering with stuff since elementary school. So a 13 year old who works with raspberry pi and Linux is very believable. Have faith people.
For sure! Raspberry Pi started as an education foundation and a big target audience is kids/the classroom. There’s BEST Robotics which in my area was hit pretty tragically by COVID, but there is VEX as well. And did you know you can probably dual boot Linux from your school issued Chromebook so that you can program Lua for your Roblox mod? I didn’t! A kid taught me.

Funny that you say that, cause our school locked our Chromebooks down so much that we literally couldn’t use the terminal or change 90% of the settings. Schools basically force kids to be tech illiterate by disabiling and crippling our systems.
They do a poor job of it too, security-wise. They put in all this effort and there’s still kids watching porn on their computers and downloading random .exes and running them.

And everybody clapped.
