Google Classroom is generally managed by the School’s IT. Your setup is strange if they request public gmail account and not internal account in the school tenant.

1. Your teacher is correct in not being happy. Giving their personal email to a student is… problematic
2. Remember that your privacy is already breached when a 3rd party in the communication is using gmail
3. Simply create a burner gmail account and do not use that for anything else than inside your school’s google ecosystem

Thanks

Maybe we should make put Uncle Enzo in charge of the Pizza delivery agents. Pizza would be on time.

Sells would mean the people owns it. In this case the EULA is clear, you are renting the game…

“blocks links to Signal” What does that even means? It’s not twitter; people are not sharing Signal links.

Yes, Xfce is lightweight; which may be seem crude.

If you select Mate or Wayland/Plasma then you would probably enjoy it more visually.

Once installed, you can select a new desktop environment at login. There’s generally a dropdown or menu item that would list all available.

With those other desktop env., you can say goodbye to that 0.7GB, though.
