I learned electronics through my Dad that way too. And my kids learn through me with this stuff. But if they ask me over and over again to do something, it's their burden to go research what they need to learn to stop asking me. And it's usually done with my guidance. I'm not actually flippant with them with their questions lol
I agree but bing.com is really what they are using because it has the parental controls that coincide with their signed in account.
When they get older and are more "free" on the Internet I'll migrate them to Linux, I'll let them choose the DE and then they can do what ever they want.
You assumed absolutely wayyy to much based on a single sentence and virtue signal your superiority based on your own fantasy of what's going on with inconclusive data. Move along.
I have the Microsoft safety shit on, and I made every site they can go to a web app. My router blocks nsfw/nonkid traffic. My phone gets notifications when they do anything at all.
And I have extensions blocking all nsfw sites just in case. And I've nuked the entry for any web browser on their start menu and task bars. Can't even scroll to find it. If you open it, it requires my admin PW, which is 14char #$@-123-ABC so good luck turds.
Steam is locked down in kid mode - also they just play Roblox or cool math games anyways lol. Steam has browser disabled.
Only things they have access to is Bing.com with their signed in kid account. And coolmathgames.com.
It took about a week on and off to setup and I just did the two laptops in tandem. Windows 11.
Lutris has some easy installers to make it easier. I just have portable versions of my games for LAN parties that don't jive with wine, proton or lutris without dancing around dx9, or .dll issues
Oooh derp, had I taken a second to think about my response I would have mentioned that. I'm using cinnamon default. Wayland experimental is my only other option.
Old dusty balls still knockin around by my knees but you better be god damn sure I'm fuckin.
