    You’re a genius. I installed Linux on an old chromebook and the amount of times my kid would alt-tab out of scummvm or dosbox or whatever was redonkulous.

    Also Linux is about as kid-friendly as a honey badger

        I agree. Kids love to solve problems. I remember trying to fix problems on my computer before even having an internet connection. That’s how I became a programmer.

          I think this is true but current society and AI especially will drive them to be lazy and grow up reliant on instant answers if parents aren’t careful to keep that trash away from them

      My hot take: good.

      I’ve got my kids using Linux on Raspberry Pis, and I honestly want them to break it so that then they have to figure out how to fix it.

      I mean, that’s basically how I learned to use computers (except I was using DOS)…
