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 just installed Ubuntu for my 11 year old and they could use it fine. Didn’t bother with any parental controls on the device itself (although I can ssh in if needed) because the network deals with filtering at a DNS level.
