1) I put manjaro on a desktop. Our first and second grader haven’t found the web browser yet (I need to figure out how to ban their accounts from accessing the network; currently, I unplug the network cable because minecraft is a festering pit of privacy violations). They did find the games menu, which is full of OSS educational stuff. 2) Dosbox: The 1990’s were the golden age of educational software. Abandonware sites are your friends. 3) The parents at school recently held a bit of an intervention for the parents of the 2nd grade kid with a tablet, cell plan and youtube. 4) The switch is a surprisingly good product. Game builder garage is well done. 5) iPad’s guided access mode lets you lock it into a single app (eg; Kahn Academy Kids, PBS kids, etc). If that’s too spendy, Alcatel (of all companies!) makes landfill-grade android tablets with extremely good parental controls. (Google’s built in parental controls include mandatory account sign in and tracking, so screw that). This model is good enough (It’s $100 for a renewed one on Amazon). https://us.alcatelmobile.com/alcatel-joy-tab-2/ https://us.alcatelmobile.com/alcatel-joy-tab-2/
