Hi, I switched my desktop to Linux full time many months ago and I’m never going back. My kids want gaming PCs for Minecraft, Roblox, fortnight, etc. Kid games for now.
Hardware
I’ve been planning to show my kids how to build their own computers, and I think I can 2 for 1 this. My current PC is a prebuilt Ibuypower, and the last computer I assembled had an AGP slot. I know spinning metal is out generally. Other than picking an AMD graphics card what tips can you offer me?
Software
I want to give them the opportunity to learn and fail, so I don’t think I would go with an immutable distro. Thoughts? Assuming a separate /home I think having to reinstall once in a while is a good lesson.
Firefox with full add blocking of course.
Is there an application for managing screen time, and while they’re still little I’d be interested in some kind of blocking/filtering.
Thanks folks!
Fortnite will not be avalaible,
But there is plenty games avalaible on steam for Linux, a lot of Indies but well made.
And BTW, they can be soft brained so its really good for kids.
There is also itch.io where you can find some ore.
But I hope they don’t play fortnite to be with friends because it will be tough for you to convince.
Fortnight is only once in a while, I don’t think it’s a big deal. I think I should install a Windows VM if it becomes an issue.
It won’t run in a VM.
Thank you.
