    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.

      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)…
