Any one here has any experience with teaching 8 to 12 years old kids Linux?

    My son’s windows focused ICT curriculum is pissing me off a bit. So I guess what I wanna teach is something similar to what a kid’s ICT text book would teach, except that it will be for Linux.

    Huh, may be I should look for kid friendly linux books first.

      I don’t know what your - and your kid’s - situation is, but I worry pushing Linux onto someone would be counterproductive to getting them to like it.

      I only use it because I genuinely like and appreciate it. I’d probably start by getting him interested in it. If he likes it enough then he’ll try and learn more by himself.

      I recently got an LLM running locally on an AMD GPU. This was only possible on Linux. Depending on your son, something like that could be a cool way to get him interested.

        Yeah, I also don’t wanna push it too hard.

        Gonna be hard though. He’s way too into roblox these days.
