Lernstick


Last Update: 2024-02-02 02:44 UTC

Lernstick is a mobile and secure learning and working environment for school and at home that can be installed on external storage media (e.g. USB sticks, USB hard drives, SD cards, etc.). The distribution is based on Debian's stable branch. The distribution is intended to perform so that almost every computer can be started from this storage media. Basically, a hard drive with an installed operating system is no longer required. (Optionally, the system can still be installed on the hard disk.) As a result, the learning stick is a platform for so-called Bring Your Own Device scenarios, in which students can also use their private devices for school purposes, such as exams in an secure offline/online environment.

  • To compare the software in this project to the software available in other distributions, please see our Compare Packages page.
  • Notes: In case where multiple versions of a package are shipped with a distribution, only the default version appears in the table. For indication about the GNOME version, please check the "nautilus" and "gnome-shell" packages. The Apache web server is listed as "httpd" and the Linux kernel is listed as "linux". The KDE desktop is represented by the "plasma-desktop" package and the Xfce desktop by the "xfdesktop" package.
  • Colour scheme: green text = latest stable version, red text = development or beta version. The function determining beta versions is not 100% reliable due to a wide variety of versioning schemes.

 It works quite well, it is easy to install it on another USB and the bios recognizes the UEFI input, it has persistence and enough programs to start programming.It comes with several desktops pre-installed (I don't know if this is a good idea, packages and terminals get mixed up).
The problem comes when you want to update: then the surprises begin. The "apt" manager is blocked, when it is unlocked, it informs you that there are 8 broken packages, when you see the broken packages, it is the Libre Office installation that comes with the name "Lernstick Office" (?).
It is a veteran distro made in Switzerland for schools and educational environments, I think it is a great idea. I think there is a better alternative which is "Linux Schools", where everything works and works very well, but it is based on Ubuntu and does not have persistence
