I’ve run arch and gentoo for years, i’ll be setting up my kid with a mac unless he expresses extreme interest in the depths of linux. Learning linux trivia is misrepresented as virtuous and there are more useful things to do with your time.
- qbasic_forever 4y agoWhen you're a kid it's precisely the time to learn about and deal with all the minutia. Tell them it's like Minecraft but you're building an operating system instead of a world.
- dysoco 4y agoYeah obviously, but as long as the kid is interested in bulding an OS from the ground up, if he wants to do webdev, 3d design, music production, writing or whatever, it's just gonnna be an useless hassle. And this comes from someone who spent a good amount of his teenage years toying with linux, arch, slackware, lfs, whatever. It was good fun but nowadays I think it was mostly useless and I'd rather had finished dev projects or whatever.
