How old is he?

>pc
Kids these days are more interested in tablets

Give the kid a thinkpad with Xubuntu or something on it.

Make his computing hard.

Spy on him.
Use a whitelist on your router for him.
use time limits on his internet access.

Tell him, when he gets good enough to actually turn those things off by himself, and understand how they work, you'll let him roam free.

Do you happen to be Chinese?

>Xubuntu
What about arch Linux. I can print print him out a handbook and that’s it.

>how to make your kid resent you
yeah, why not help him learn how to teach himself instead of making his life fucking difficult just to stroke your e-peen

Buy him something open-source and non x86 (and nothing normalfag like Android either) so he can't play videoGAYmes

What is that

I will unironically do this

Read the filename, retard.

I was thinking more like, hiding a password somewhere on your router, and whitelisting stuff like archwiki and other nifty sites. Tell your kid if they manage to find the password and tell it to you, you'll buy him a gaming rig or something.

Bonus dad-points: Make the password something like "proud of you, champ"

I'm not upset that you posted this image. Honestly, I'm not. It's obvious that the parents work and are responsible enough with finances that they can afford all this technology, have all these children and bring them to Starbucks so they can enjoy themselves. If they don't "do" computers, who am I to judge?

Don't per say "spy" on him. Just make sure an actively updated porn blocking list is running on his computer. Keep talking to him, and have an idea of who he talks to online. A lot of pedos running wild. Get him his first PC when he's 13 maybe, make sure he's mature. I would recommend you to run Linux on his machine, because if he never uses proprietary stuff, he won't get used to the convenience of it. Feel free to ask anything else on this topic or parenting in general.

what does your kid watch/do for entertainment? all the parents I've seen give their kids YouTube at the age of 2 (no joke)

Get him a librebooted x200 already. Only install a text based browser.

Not just based.. but redpilled as well.

you must teach him the evils of proprietary software

Just make sure your firewall is working on your router, and blacklist degenerate shit.

>GNU/pharmacy
lost it

When he's 16, let him choose between inheritance and Windows.
He can choose to be a Wintendo toddler retard but then he won't get a dime from your estate.

As a kid I grew up climbing up mountains, running in forests, going to dams to fish and swimming in rivers, I had quite the feral lifestyle thanks to the small semi rural city I lived in. I had my first PC around 9th grade that got sold soon after by dad who noticed me clinging to it too much. If I had to redo one thing about my childhood it would be going on wild adventures more. If I were you I'd make sure my kid got into a tightly knit group of friends that do outdoors more than indoors. Your kid needs no PC.
PS: If your child is girl, then scratch all the above, and consult with anons with daughters.

When you think he's mature enough. We've got three kids aged 10 to 16, only two of them are mature enough.

Discuss online safety, etc., his school may have touched on this but doing it again won't hurt. Maintain a porn block on the router. It won't last forever, of course, he'll eventually circumvent it or you might remove it when he's older.

Don't bother forcing him to use Linux or any of the other retarded similar suggestions in this thread. Get whatever he uses at school or his friends have. He won't be interested in using it otherwise. If all his friends run Linux on Thinkpads then go nuts, but forcing the issue is just a waste of your money. You can always chat with him about it later if he seems interested, and let him explore on his own.

By and large, I'd say YouTube and social networks do more mental damage than porn. We had to explain to our ten year old why it's not okay to run around singing about niggers and weed while pole dancing. (Wouldn't let her watch porn, obviously, but you get my point.)

I have mine one at 6. We'll see how it turns out, he's 12 now.

>girls shouldn't be allowed to be outside

Careful you'll enrage the trannies. I'm and for what it's worth 2/3 of our daughters are more outdoorsy than I ever was.

Imagine having a freetard father LMAO

I'm going to buy my kid a PC from like 1998 and tell him he can use it if he can figure out how to put it together.

Pretty sure that's child abuse

give him a locked down computer with a typeing program and tell him that he can use the internet/ have full access when he learns to touch type

I wouldn't mind enraging trannies. But that is not what this is about. I am just proposing an ideal. I have a life that involves thinking a lot and devising solutions dictating an indoors lifestyle on me. And I had a childhood that revolved around nonstop adventure thanks to the all around sunny weather of my hometown. Would I trade the latter for the former if given a chance? No way no how! Now did girls run up hills and wandered kilometers outside town when we were kids? No they did not. So I assume that they preferred to do things differently, and I referred OP to guys with experience like you.
Trannies can suck dick for the trouble they're wrongfully giving us though.

Don’t give him anything. Spare the child and spoil the rod.

Indeed

Bigly if redpilled iff based and big xor redbased

If you turn it into a game for him then it would be fun and educational.
Don't try to put too much of yourself into his personality, don't want him to make the same mistakes.

Got first computer personaly when I was 3 yo and can send my parents to hell for doing that(I genuinly support WHO for declaring game disorter real, can speak from personal exp thats true). Maybe you can give computer at about 6 and with only reason being he will start learning coding and stuff. First ofc start with scratch. But yeah if you're giving the computer not bcz you want him to be a coder but just for funs then give it when he will be about 10 yo. And dont buy expensive shit so he doesnt start spam pirating games and with them viruses. Just smth basic to load medium games on low settings

obese and blind swine

Just give him linux from scratch. When he is able to install it and got browser/connection to internet going he will be ready.

Give him internet access, but no browser, so he has to make some programming first.

fucking almost choked on my carrot looking at this. hahah

You can get the little dude a PC but install blocking software on it so he can’t access porn or gore sites

if he doesn't have a firm grasp on immutable morality given by God, he will become a tranny and no amount of internet policing will stop it. The inverse is also true, and since he will have to face the world you should let him start now when you can monitor his development. Its not as though anyone can avoid looking at artifact-quality perversion these days

>When do I get my boy his first PC? Do I let him run wild with it and the internet?
Just don't show him pr0n and Jow Forums and the rest will be ok.

>age 2
A couple of years ago I discovered youtube had touch gestures (minimize video and browse other videos) watching my 2 yo niece trying to find a video on her tablet. Now my nephew is like 18 months and he already got an ipad

make him install gentoo, give him hardware and disk image, give him a network adapter later

Get him a gym membership instead.
