I’m thinking about building a desktop with one of my kids and I would really prefer to put Linux on it. My wife is not a fan of the idea, however.

I’m wondering are there any good Linux distros/utilities for children that include parental control features and things like that? And that are easy to use for a child who has only used basic Chromebooks in the past?

For reference the child is under 12.

    Every distro is essentially the same it’s not the question you want to be asking

      i partially agree here. Comparing something like Nix vs Gentoo is like comparing cars and plains. sure their both vehicles but that’s about the it.

      Well, sort of.

      If he chooses to install an atomic distribution, for example, he might have a simpler time ensuring that he can help undo any curiosity damage his kids may have wrought.

        That’s a pretty good idea actually
