DEs like KDE already have a kiosk mode. Just add an adblocker to it, for content that’s not child friendly. Done. Zero risk to Linux here.

- graemep 11mo agoRead the comments from FSFE - they do not think its simple at all: https://www.heise.de/en/news/Microsoft-Google-Co-Countries-got-completely-bogged-down-with-porn-filters-10211180.html https://www.heise.de/en/news/Microsoft-Google-Co-Countries-g... Something like kiosk mode does not cover it. It will have to be locked down to the point of uselessness. From the article: "Only apps that have an approved youth protection program or a comparable suitable tool themselves will be accessible regardless of the pre-set age group."
- earthnail 11mo agoI read the article. I just don’t share the criticism. “Only apps from safe places can be installed.” Yeah, d’oh. Otherwise, massive loophole. Yes, it’s a Nintendo-ify button for a PC. It’s opt in. And very convenient for parents. And if my kid wants to install something, it can come and ask me. Like I had to go and ask my dad before installing sth (before I got my own Linux machine with 14).
