I'd love to see you maintain 800 linux laptops kept in the hands of kids.

"What do you mean you recompiled ALSA and now you can't join Zoom little Timmy? Did you try invoking modprobe again?"

"Timmy, you recompiled alsa? That's kind of impressive. I'm going to give you some more challenging work to try and help develop your computer skills. We sure are lucky that we have open computers that let you do things besides consume YouTube and be spied on."

If it is anything like my kids school, the maintenance would be exactly the same regardless of the OS. The students are instructed to keep everything in their synced drive, and they reimage machines at the drop of a hat.
