The first thing I ever touched was a Windows XP desktop, then Windows 7 laptop, then win8.
Then I got my first phone.
Curious about what kids these days have?
iPads? Phones?
Do kids just get used to a corporation being able to control what software they can install?
Because I feel like kids these days will get their first device and its either a phone or tablet and (regardless if its iOS or Android, sideloading restrictions begin in Android starting 2027 btw) are gonna get used to the cage that corporate has build and never venture out for freedom.
So this is it? Humans will get used to corporate digital cages?
Kids should get Ubuntu Touch/Graphene OS phones first alongside Steam Decks.
If there’s a sub-$500 tablet that supports Ubuntu and has a kid-friendly case, consider me interested! I’d love to have full control over a video streaming tablet for my kids.
xD
Too bad I doubt the average parent are gonna be able to flash a custom rom.
Steam deck is a perfect learning tool too. Guide them towards the way of Captain Jack Sparrow (🏴☠️ yaRrr). Become the Master the digital seas! 100% discount in all games!
They can check the sailmates service and repair shops to do it for them. It’s a good way to help their kid practice mindfulness, school was much more enjoyable when I was socializing and reading during the breaks. Though I grew up with a iPod touch and I was a happy kid.
