I am looking for a solution for my students who all have Chromebooks (which are locked down).

Their opportunities will be greatly expanded if they had access to Windows-based software (Blender, Unreal Engine, 3D slicing software, etc.,).

I have access to a couple desktop machines that I could host virtual boxes on if there was some way for them to remote into them through a web browser.

Is that something that is possible, and where would I get the information to get started hosting something like that?

If not, are there any alternative solutions that do not require a paid subscription?

    if they had access to Windows-based software (Blender, Unreal Engine, 3D slicing software, etc.,).

    All of those applications that you mentioned run on Linux too. Maybe check if everything you want to use runs on Linux and then you don’t need to sell your students’ souls on their behalf.

      I’m fine with them accessing either OS. Right now they only have access to a glorified bloated web browser.
