  • yes. My kids have an account that can only see kids stuff (and they are not admins either of course). I have admin rights. My wife can see everything but no admin rights. If you mean "I need a KIDS group where I can put all my kids' accounts so they inherit the same permissions" then no.

  • There are also bedside lamps that slowly turn on at defined times, so you can wake up slowly. I've also built a blue light with a pi zero for my kids, that slowly increases in intensity over 10 minutes

  • Or not even hire replacements, so they cut workforce AND don't have to pay severance packages. Costs are reduced, earning are higher, shareholder are happy. Yes, it's a relatively short term plan, but that's what analysts and investors care about, short term returns.

  • Super speed and win a lot of olimpic medals with no effort. Apart for the obvious sprint race, there's marathons. Also long jump (with that inertia could easily win). Swimming. Javelin. Also sports like football and basketball (and rugby and American football and maybe hokey) I guess. Smash one olimpic games, play a couple of years of other super paid sports. Retire and take it slow

  • if you don't mind having to install updates every day it's nice. I use Cinnamon and there was a small issue at the beginning (dbus-something IIRC) so some apps (calculator, firefox, libreoffice) were taking a long time to start (waiting on a timemeout on something). But that's the only issue I had in the past 6 months. I installed lutris and play steam and Epic games. I have docker (not the desktop version) installed. System is lean and snappy. Do I see a massive change from when I was using Linux Mint? Not really. I changed because I borked my LM installation and needed to reinstall anyway. Installed EndeavourOS on a spare SSD to try it out and ended as my daily driver. I still have LM on the other SSD, but I only went back once to transfer my documents/stuff. TBH I tried it out because I saw everyone banging on about Arch, but couldn't be bothered to install from scratch. I'd only used RedHat or Debian derivative (I'm old, Ubuntu is a derivative of Debian in my mind because I remember how it started out) distros in the past 20+ years (well, and gentoo for some time when it first came out. Also Mandrake, but can't remember what package manager it had), so I wanted to try something new. I'm happy with it, but I don't make the distro I use a matter or religion. It works, it's stable, I learn something new, job done.

  • Welcome aboard! There is no need to be a programmer to work on Linux. I'm no programmer either and have been enjoying Linux for many years.

    About the distro, it's a conversation ad old as the first fork lol. It depends in part what you want to do with it. I've used many in 20+ years. I've settled eith endeavourOS for my desktop (after a few years of Linux Mint) and debian on the servers. I play and work on it without any problems (although I have a radeon rx580 card).

    I've never used popOS, but all major distros have a fairly simple install process, especially if you use the whole hd and don't need fancy config. Or you can start relatively hard and use gentoo. It will take a while (and thanks the fact that stage1 is not the default anymore) but you'll learn a lot of how linux works.

    Feel free to ask if you want to know more.
