They do seem to be quietly taking over... chromebooks, google office apps and all that stuff have been around for years now but it seems finally they’ve started to eat into the assumption that you have to go with M$ if you want office software.
Local councils all over Scotland have been devising programmes to hand out chromebooks to kids over a period of years, originally in our area just the new first years at high school were going to get them, then with Covid and the prospect of schools being shut again they decided to give them to the first 3 years, then they ran a survey and found - unsurprisingly - that in no school year do the pupils have access to their own laptop in any significant numbers. So now the 4th years are getting them too. I’m delighted, this means both the high schoolers in our household are getting a new free computer in the next couple of weeks. Hopefully they’ll be able to use them at school this term instead of retreating to lockdown again.
