Yea, in the other scenario we will be putting our data in to the grip of M$ as they will own and control the OS you are running locally. Kinda like...some viruses. I bet it will not work off line, will it?

"That lets the company increase the wings' width by 23 feet to 235 feet, which makes flying more efficient." Pretty fat wings on this bird! Perhaps 'span' would be a better term.
My first coding was on ZX81, there was one in town in some technical high school...ca. 1983..When the ZX Spectrum come in later, I could only watch others having fun with it. Nostalgia...
>> I don't think you understand what OnShape [onshape.com] is.
OnShape as well as many other Web-based CADs (did you try the TinkerCad?) use client-side rendering (projecting a 3D object into 2D screen surface). That is, the client's (here the PI or whatever your students are using locally) CPU/GPU is processing a 3D instructions of WebGl and plotting it to the 2D screen - a lot of floating point math involved.
RPi has a 'decent' GPU (measured by cost and power) but it is limited, esp with respect to the memory size and number of FLOPs and likely memory bandwidth. Usually, CAD models are complicated enough to demand more resources. All in all you are going to make the students suffer through a sluggish process.
>> It runs almost entirely in the cloud.
If it did it would not need WebGl. The cloud would render the 3D into a 'picture' surface and serve it back to client. I do not think this is how it works. All in all it would make the UI rather sluggish as the round-trip latency would be remarkable.
>> It would mean that students could design, slice, and 3D print objects for robots, and to program those robots, all with just a Raspberry Pi.
The requirements for a robot controller and for a CAD workstation are quite different. If you'd want a similarity of the environment/os (linux) why not get them a cheap chrombook or a PC running Ubuntu? Any PI would be substantially limited (by cost, power and size) to be a reasonable CAD workstation.
Lower retirement age? Like this is going to happen given the politics of today. Yes I am there too and I am not behind in tech (love it and learn anything I can everyday) but I did experience 'friction' whenever I try to interview.
So, push all elderly workers over the cliff is the current 'market regulation'......wait...WAIT! stop pushing me.....aaaa...thump!

I was under impression that a rocket launch is a lot of shake, vibration and gforces. How is a car like that going to survive it and more importantly, would it break apart and cause damage to the launch vehicule? Not to mention the batteries (likely they will discharge them?)

Supporting old hardware has little to do with low-resource focused distribution (albeit it helps to be low resource on old hardware).
Would it simply be just another desktop install option in Ubuntu then?
For low-resource x86 hw there are other options, I personally like TinyCore. How about for arm hw (RPI etc.)?
And that problem (of optimizing DAG) is at least NP.
recursion?
Why add complexity?
To help with sanity?

Mod the parent up. I can't judge validity of all claims, but on the surface it is an attempt of a global solution to the problem.

What's M$ business model to spent shareholders money on this?
Yea, and a good kerosene lamp or whale oil one to go with it. I wish the cave ceiling wasn't leaking....
QT comes to mind...

A good one? Define 'good' in this context, please?
So...does it stop a lot to ask for directions?
So...this is a QA cycle with the expense of 'users'? Did they not test it in more controlled environment? I hope they (all of them) will now.

Apparently ebay still has ZX81 stuff

The #3 above may get them in.
So for this merger - did the risk pay out or are they are recycling the scraps?
The pictures show a car mounted in rather emtpy space.
