From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

When I was 12 I got "tricked" into installing Linux Mint from a USB drive because another kid told me it had Garageband on it.
Like that meme where you give someone a bunch of adderall and a pickaxe and tell them there's gold under a location you need excavated.
Perhaps you could explore adjacent strategies?
May be not a bad idea.
His screen time is currently limited and he's been asking me to remove the limit. Guess I can let him dual boot into Mint without any screen time limit so that he can play around.
