Just switched Zorin for Win11 on my kids computer (yes, it did hurt and still does 😭). His friends play Fortnite and he felt left out. Windows is the only option if he want to play?
Btw downloaded newest Microslop Windows 11, but still during installation there was a gust from the past; I had to use my other computer to download the wifi card driver, which I had to “select from disk” when installing 😂 in 2026!! (tplink ex3000). Worked flawless on Linux.
My kids use Fedora, and hate windows with passion (I wonder where they get that from), so they only play games that work in Linux and they can play on steam. Their friends and cousins have adapted to them, instead of the other way around (though I’m pretty sure they still play Fortnite and other ‘winblows only’ shot without my kids). I made my kids understand that anyone that does not respect their wish to control their own lives and privacy is not worth keeping around anyway, and it has worked fine so far. Also, they have time limits for gaming and watching TV, they read and play music instruments way more than using any type of tech.
That’s really great! 👌🏻
Make no mistake, it’s a real chore getting kids to understand, but showing them scary shit that happens to others out there for not taking care of their privacy is a seriously useful crutch. I think I’ve made my kids as paranoid as I am, they even bitch at my wife every so often about her still using WhatsApp 🤣
