    I have thought about this too, though more in terms of selling it as a service. In my opinion, linux could be the best option for people who cant use computer since we can just make it easy to use for them, that isnt possible with mac or windows since they are so locked down and we just have to make due with what some corporate idiot decided.

    Maybe its easier to start by making EVERYTHING forbidden and allowing things that are needed. Then also make somekind of backup system for things that might get ruined so it can be easily restored. Also hide everything from that account that isnt necessary to see. I cant say i’m expert regarding linux though, this is just something i would try starting with.









  • That is why I wanted to get started now instead of waiting until 10 becomes unsafe. Fortunately I can have it bothways since it was time to get new pc anyways. Now i can also use the old one as sacrificial computer since it has been compromised by kernel access anticheat programs anyway. Having to wipe it is not nice though since it will also remove a lot of history that cant be really backedup as its mixed in with all the trash.
