Linux for Kids?

wesley@yall.theatl.social to Linux@lemmy.ml – 151 points –

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.

I think it was mostly the parental controls we aren't familiar with on Linux and I think she thinks it would be too "hard" for her.

I don't agree obviously

I see. Yeah there's definitely a lot of options especially if you're willing to block stuff at the network level.
