      Yup, every time my niece and nephew come over I show them how awesome my desktop is! They also use my laptop but I want them to know what a proper PC can do.

      Next up is showing them that the files they download don’t just magically disappear into the ether on their device.

        The biggest issue is the surveillance capitalism, monopolization, and walled gardens/firmware that prevent linux mobile options from becoming a viable alternative.

          Android is perfectly fine. I’ve even seen people do crazy things with iOS.

          Kids will use whatever they have available if they have the right mindset. You can do some crazy things on mobile.
