I’m thinking about building a desktop with one of my kids and I would really prefer to put Linux on it. My wife is not a fan of the idea, however.

I’m wondering are there any good Linux distros/utilities for children that include parental control features and things like that? And that are easy to use for a child who has only used basic Chromebooks in the past?

For reference the child is under 12.

      I use a combo of Pihole + OpenDNS with filters. And my kid’s user account does not have privileges to change network settings. Yet. Things will be enabled one by one in due time until he’s in 100% control of his own computer.

      And if he actually knows what a DNS server is and is digging around for the setting, and trying to hack my shit, then I’d say he’s ready for the “adult” computing world.
