elementary OS designed parental control, but in a bit of an opposite way as you've suggested. An administrator can create a new standard account, and restrict its access to the computer. For example, the standard user can log in between 5 PM and 10 PM, can have access to some of the applications restricted (as in, he can't run them) and he can be banned from accessing certain websites (blacklist-only options at the moment).
Not really what you're looking for, but built exactly in a way you want it: available out-of-the-box, tucked into system settings, there in case you need it. Could be of some inspiration to Ubuntu guys.
- richsu-ca 10y agoElementary OS looks real nice! Lubuntu like all Ubuntu have standard users with limited access and that is what my son has but I am less worried about his access to the computer or to the computer's features than about him seeing ads or things that isn't appropriate for his age.
