What could be the best way to introduce the world of computers to a kid, let’s say of 6 years old, so that he learns to handle it like a toy and stops dreading it like some esoteric, arcane and recondite machine from some eldritch, enigmatic, cryptic and phantasmal world ?
I don’t know if this is a good idea, but I’ve been thinking of the idea of giving an old air-gapped computer with Linux to a potential young child of mine.
Therefore, they can tinker around, play with educational software, maybe even learn some terminal stuff, all without the dangers of the Internet.
Configure it to have limited access and your kid will know everything in a week trying to unlock it
Time to chmod 000 every game on the system and have them figure out what file permissions are ;)
