Am I the outlier here? I don't see my daughter - who is 6 - using a desktop regularly enough to need a special distro.. if she is using it, it's that we are doing it together. I would like to see her have a Linux tablet though
- sdegutis 10y agoMy kids aged 4 8 9 and 12 each use the desktop every day, for recreation and for homeschool, but they use Windows 10, they each have their own user account, and they use it for various apps, including games like Minecraft and Factorio, painting programs like Photoshop and Paint.NET, beginner programming environments like Scratch and Sublime Text (for Love2d games), and more heavy programming environments like IntelliJ and Visual Studio Express. Tablets and Linux desktop distros wouldn't really make sense for us. But maybe this is an atypical setup for children?
- tyfon 10y agoMy daughter (5) got her laptop when she was 4. She is now quite proficient with the keyboard and mouse, and is able to start the computer, open minecraft, log into our lan server and build/run around. But that would not have happened if it was not for minecraft I think. They need to get interested enough.
