Among Gen Z, there’s a problem of how a lot of people don’t even know how to use a computer in the workplace because they just used their smartphones for everything. With this phenomenon in retrospect, I was wondering if Linux could be a better introduction to an advanced computer.
Linux tends to be more secure against malware, can be made to resemble Windows superficially enough, and you can keep kids away from executing more dangerous commands with a sudo password. The compatibility issues with a lot of software can also be used against them trying to execute pirated games and the like, basically making it easier to control what they have access to.
I know there are stories of how if you apply child protection time limits or website blocks they end up adapting and circumventing it…but if they do that with Linux, then they are also forced to learn how the system works well enough to familiarize themselves with programming knowledge which could help them in the future.
