BEST Linux distro for kids!

[@flow5718]

I knew it was going to be Endless OS. This is a really cool distro, I wish more schools took note of it

[@spamtongspamton3422]

With all the old PCs they normally have it would be an excellent use for them

[@spamtongspamton3422]

@@17moh.oktaviazizn.75 Yeah. Gnome is heavy. If you are lucky you can get it Down a bit but it is hella slow. Maybe use cinnamon instead. Easy and similar to windows so school kids would find it fine

[@devincullen1712]

I agree.

perfect distro for linus ltt linux challenge

[@Ironpants57]

Wow amazing! My absolute favorite part about this is hack. Learning linux and also learning how to config things is pretty awesome. I would've loved this when I was a kid. But then again, linux wasn't as mature in the early 90's as it is now lol.

That "taste of the internet" is probably the best parts, to be honest. As soon as they get a social media account they get corrupted. Protect our future, ban social media! (om maybe a bit harsh, but in principle correct) :)

[@ruukes4770]

You're using social media right now

[@Glurgi]

@@ruukes4770 That does not invalidate my point.

[@fiddledotgoth]

@@Glurgi I'm surprised that none of the big tech corps have STILL not come up with a moderated social media site for kids...

[@Glurgi]

@@fiddledotgoth There is probably some good money in it, to be sure. Weird part is that there is an entire (huge) industry that carters only to kids with toys , clothes etc.

Thanks for the detailed review! - Daniel @ Endless

[@ddd7864]

This is actually fantastic. I am so happy that stuff like this is being made to help teach them while they are young. The penguin army grows!

[@drlukewhite]

That really is a tremendously amazing thing! Thanks for sharing - it's refreshing to have content that is so different in focus from the usual Linux KZbinr fare!

[@douxreveur131]

Great test, fun and atypical! I've been testing this distribution for a few days and I'm very pleasantly surprised! Even if I prefer for my personal use to use Solus KDE, I will propose Endless for my friends, families and also, the people a little old who have difficulties to use a computer. Here, the system files are read-only and the Flatpaks are updated automatically. Simple and pleasant! Thanks a lot for this video :) Sincerely from France.

[@enkiimuto1041]

I was dead sure it was going to be endlessOS. it is a pretty good distro and something we should aim to help communities without internet.

[@sglasgowaz]

I have to say thank you. I saw this in my feed and was semi like, I should check this out or maybe not on the fence. Considering I plan on eventually making an after school STEM based place, this is useful and considering I never heard of this OS. So thank you for bringing this to light. I would say they need to have alternate languages, and maybe they do, but I will check it out since translation is a not that big of a deal. Thank you for highlighting this.

[@mamalujo2003]

@techhut Thank you for this review. I have been looking for a Linux distro for my grandchildren. In my search I came across this one a few weeks ago, but hadn't tried it. Now I'm going try it with my grandchildren as a live usb to see if they like it, and how much.

[@RohithkannaDuraiswamy]

I feel this would be great for even just basic navigations of gnome. Especially for users coming from windows.

[@DMSBrian24]

I hope this is still worked on and updated in the future, really awesome project

[@montre-moi]

Man, as a kid I could not even DREAM of having something like this.

[@JonathanMontero]

Thanks man, I was just searching for a Kids distro since I'm getting a laptop for one of them, this changed my mind about the distro that I had planned.

[@montre-moi]

what did you plan? And what's your opinion since one year has passed since your comment?

[@JonathanMontero]

@@montre-moi I am very happy with it. One of the things that I want is to allow them to change the system (check mark). Also, more security in internet, for that I need help of other pieces like a DNS system like PiHole (plus some other lists to block sites). Put all that together and it's pretty neat.

why is abstract algebra (group theory, vector spaces, homomorphisms, etc) under the normal "algebra" tab??? that is university level stuff on the same tab other topics, some of which is basic algebra... moreover, linear algebra, which is a part of abstract algebra, has its own separate tab... that math app isn't really well designed in terms of content organisation, imo

[@ararune3734]

I don't know mate, I was surprised by this too but I've found that kids these days are learning it in elementary school, at least where I'm from. Some of these concepts have been introduced at university level for me

[@fatbeard8072]

That is really awesome. I love the fact that it is so educational. I am gonna have to put together a low end Laptop together and put EndlessOS on it. I really like all the offline info that it contains. So what if it is 18GB's in size, worth it. I know for a fact that I will learn a thing or two for sure from this.

I've been looking for something like this. I have a 13 year old son and I am really concerned that there is nowhere for kids his age to learn about computers. Schools teach an absolute load of rubbish which is of no practical use to anyone. This OS seems really promising.

[@4cps777]

Definitely agree, EndlessOS seems pretty cool although I don't really know who exactly it is targeted at. Some parts of it seem to be directed at primary school students while other parts are for high school students. Btw maybe your sons plays games that he can mod, that's basically how I started coding when I was 13.

17gb? Endless OS indeed

[@ThatLinuxDude]

That's the full version where EVERYTHING but the kitchen sink is stored offline. Useful for third-world countries. Not that useful otherwise.

[@FedoraRose]

I think this OS is not good for children because it’s limiting the kids and what they can learn and I also tried this distro when I was 12 and I hated it because it feels so limiting and than I just started with a normal distro (arch or Ubuntu for example ). and also I think this OS should have more animations for visual impact so the kids know what is happening

[@TechHut]

12 is a bit late for this I feel. It would almost feel too childish. Ultimately all the extensions can be disable and applications removed.
