My 12yo learnt about Recall from some Youtube video and has now said they want to move to Linux. I’m not fully convinced it’s possible though, I know they have some modding tools etc for indie games that seem to be Windows only. Let’s see.
This guy gets it! But in any case, I’d let him brick it. I would not be where I am if I had not bricked (for real) a couple of expensive devices during my youth.
Dual boot! Lets you keep one foot in the Windows door in case you need anything in Windows. I also run a Windows VM (Winapps) for small programs that don’t run well on Linux and also don’t require much processing power

Encourage your little one to explore their interests!
This!! If little guy wants to brick his computer 3x times before getting it right , let him .
I haven’t bricked my computer once running Linux and yet with Windows I have gotten the blue screen of death 3 times and lots of freezes.
I’ve nuked my bootloader entries a handful of times. I wouldn’t trust a 12yo to know how to fix that. But maybe I’m not giving 12yos enough credit 🤷
Why the downvote tho? If lil guy wants to brick it, let him.
You’re using biased phrasing against Linux and no they will not brick their system.
Wow, right over your head dude. It’s just the sentiment he is sharing.
lmfao but what if he wants to brick it ? Let him!!
If they’re going to brick it, it won’t be with Linux, but with a funky UEFI firmware. It’s incredibly hard to brick a computer by installing an OS.
Presumably your using the word “brick” wrong. Or are you suggesting this poor person buys 4 computers until they learn how to do something?

Why do you include the “dont require much processing power” part?
Depends on the games, but I play several games modded on linux, and some have even gotten linux-native mod managers.
Before them, proton usually lets you run stuff intended to mod windows games.
