提问 HN：你会如何为孩子设置第一台 Linux 电脑？
3 分•作者: evolve2k•7 个月前
作为一个科技家长，我认为我为儿子和女儿做的最好的事情之一，就是让他们自己动手组装和设置他们的第一台 Linux 电脑（那时候是 Ubuntu，但现在他们都自己转到 Arch 了）。
我们一起去买了台二手台式机（卖给我们的人也很兴奋），回家后我把内存、硬盘和光驱拆出来放在一边；然后，我们一起用螺丝刀，花了几天时间“组装了电脑”。
在 Windows 上，当孩子在网上搜索“Windows 电影制作软件”时，他们要么会找到昂贵的商业选项，要么会进入充斥着各种骗局的网站。
相比之下，在 Linux 上，如果他们在本地“应用商店”搜索，会找到大量免费、实用、开源的软件。
我的孩子们喜欢这种力量、自由，以及后来意想不到的社区氛围。
现在我的朋友也想为她 8 岁的女儿做同样的事情。
我计划也这样做，和她父母以及她一起去买一台二手台式机，然后安装 Linux。
我的问题是，接下来该怎么做？你有什么建议？应该安装什么？有什么迷你“课程”或想法吗？
很想听听你的想法和经验。目标和重点是使用 Linux 和免费开源软件。

As a tech parent I think one of the best things I did for both my son and daughter was for their first computer to help them to build and setup their own Linux computer (It was Ubuntu back then but they’ve both moved themselves to Arch these days).<p>We went together and bought a second hand desktop (exciting the people selling to us also) and when I got home I pulled out the Ram, HD and CD drive and set them aside; and then together with a screwdriver we “built the computer” over a few days.<p>In windows when a child goes searching the web for a “movie maker for windows” they are going to be in a world of hurt either finding expensive commercial options or super scammy sites promising the world.<p>By comparison on Linux if they search the local “app store” they’ll find stacks and stacks of free, useful, open licensed software.<p>My kids loved the power, freedom and later unexpected community this bought them.<p>Now my friend wants the same for their daughter who is 8 years old.<p>I’m planning to do the same and go with her parents and her and buy a second hand desktop together and then put Linux on it.<p>My question is where would you go from there? What suggestions do you have? What to install? Any mini “curriculums” or ideas?<p>Would love to hear your ideas and experiences. Linux with free and open software is the goal and focus.
