Looking for Guidance on Configuring PrimTux in a Small Classroom
#1
Hello Everyone,

Since I'm new to the PrimTux environment, I need some advice. PrimTux may be the primary operating system on our computers in the little classroom I'm building up in an elementary school, with about 15 children. The main objective is to give young students a secure, instructive, and welcoming atmosphere.

I would be very grateful for any guidance or recommendations from those who have used PrimTux in comparable environments, as I have a few particular questions:

Hardware Compatibility: Our PCs are eight to ten years old, therefore they are not very new. Are there any recognized problems with older gear that I should be aware of? What is the minimal system need to ensure proper operation of PrimTux? Are there any settings or changes I should do to maximize these computers' performance?

Software Suggestions: I've noticed that a number of instructional programs are pre-installed on PrimTux. Would you suggest installing any other programs or tools to improve the learning process? I'm specifically searching for software that helps young pupils with fundamental coding and language acquisition.

User Management: How should multiple user accounts on PrimTux be managed, particularly for younger kids who might not be as tech-savvy? Is it possible to quickly reset user accounts or profiles in between sessions so that every youngster logs in with a fresh start?

Classroom Management Tools: Is it possible for me to oversee or manage the students' activities from a teacher's station using any of the capabilities of PrimTux or any suitable third-party salesforce developer tools?

Thank you in advance.

Hi Jackzz,
I'll answer the best I can with my current experience with Primetux and as a volunteer in a primary school.

Hardware compatibility : would you be able to share the CPU speed and number of cores ? The RAM size ? Hard drive or SSD ?

Software suggestions : I don't have an answer here, I mainly needed Primetux to run Scratch on a laptop and use few other applications already present in Primetux.
There is a list of available software on the website: https://primtux.fr/logitheque-base/ (in french...)

User management : This I haven't got the answer yet, I intend to have a network share reachable by the laptops of the pupils.... but it needs time to be setup, I don't have my hands on this.
I case of issue with a computer, I intend to backup the content of the directory where we make them save their work and just reinstall Primetux.

Classroom Management Tool : You can have a look at this tool : https://veyon.io/en/ (haven't tried it, your post made me refresh my knowledge of this kind of hardware and software solutions Smile )
