How would you go about teaching a child how to use linux?

Suppose (You) have a child sometime in the future. How would you go about gradually teaching them how to use different distributions and the command line and configurations without being forceful or potentially alienating them? When I have kids, I don't want my kid to be a fucking Wintard or a Macfag, but I don't want to be an asshole about it, I want to teach them and allow them to make an educated decision.

Install Gentoo an all their machines and give them the root password. You can only truly learn Linux by breaking your system and then fixing it.

why does the myth of "leenux is so hard to use" still exists when the top distrowatch distros are retardedly easy to use out of the box for the regular user?

You underestimate how dumb the average user is.

I didn't necessarily imply it was hard, I was asking how I could teach a child how to be proficient at it.

>I don't want my kid to be a fucking Wintard or a Macfag
they literally won't give a shit about computers unless they inherit your autisms. do your best to teach them to use a computer properly (e.g. install fedora or ubuntu or whatever, teach them to use the internet and when they need it to install new packages or run windows software in wine/dual boot into windows) but don't try to make them into you, they'll be more interested in completing their school work than in sperging out over which software they use on their computer to do it with. see that video of the spergy programmer recording himself try to convince his unamused teenage daughter to become a software engineer.

Just have Linux in the house and do cool shit with it all the time and they'll learn

I would take your suggestion if you weren't a filthy tripfag

This. I had DOS around so I learned DOS, is the same with Linux.

However, these days they'll probably have more GUI so make sure you show them how to install stuff from the CLI.

i will have my hypothetical kids use linux systems and i will instruct them how to use them, but i don't really care if they take up a hobby/interest in computers. i'd probably just put ubuntu or something on because it's "safe" and i wouldn't have time to tinker around anymore anyway

Linux is just a kernel.

Don't have a child, a child born now will live to only know suffering. Climate change will kill them and their loved ones directly or indirectly through starvation and extreme weather conditions.

Reminder to all suicidal people to take down at least one billionaire on their way out, 99% chance they contributed to the reasons that made you suicidal in the first place.

they won't even know what a computer is. Kids only use their smartphones these days

This

The majority of smartphones run Linux.

My kid won't have a smartphone until he's 15

Your kid will be laughed at by his friends and you'll be responsible

I'll teach him not to be a faggot

It's been a while Terry, how's the skitzo?

So much this, unironically.

Don't be surprised when he comes out as transgender after being a social outcast and not knowing how to deal with it.

>Using linux will make him a tranny
Are you actually retarded?

Go look at the amount of gay ERP stripey sock wearing losers on the desktop threads and /bst/, they're all Linux users if you haven't noticed.

>Install Gentoo (not in a meme way)
>dont install X or any kind of desktop environment
>force kid to use lynx (text only browser), mutt for email, irssi for social networking, emacs or vim for text editor
>install fish or zsh so they dont waste their life using archaic bash/sed/awk/grep
>install ruby for superior scripting language to python or perl

First, develop a healthy inferiority complex and make every normalfag activity a chore. This will ensure they grow up a social outcast. Limit their PC and internet time, but crappily so a smart kid will be able to break the system. Enroll them in "gifted children" programs for math and programming. Stress that they should live their own life and learn what they want, but simultaneously punish them randomly for not doing well in some random field. Once they have no social life and spend all their time on the computer, while desperately craving to prove themselves better than trash, they'll find Linux on their own.

I use linux and I'm normal

I will install him ElementaryOS with an Apple-like keboard and a DNK-H case.

Then I install various games on it like Starcraft, Starcraft II, Stardew Valley, Minecraft and shit like that.

most trannies don't transition because they're mentally female and "stuck" in a male body, it's simply the logical conclusion of indulging in their autogynephile fetishes for so long that they decide to "restart" their life as female because they somehow failed as a male.
These are the ones that get Thai surgery and self medicate hormones because psychotherapists can see right through them and tell them to fuck off.

I just hate most people

Every time you catch them using proprietary software, break a finger.

I think I'll make the family computer run Gentoo and make them build ungoogled chromium from source to access porn

That is a goomer you uneducated fool

The same way you would teach them to use Windows, just tell them what to do if they're have problems?

MacOS warrants the change because it's a trendy status symbol

Where do you live so I can call Child Protective Services on you?

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

I won't give a fuck about the way how the child uses computer. Why would you even care?

Because using and knowing Linux is two entirely different things. Look at Windows, most users don't know anything about their OS, they only know the familiarity of a GUI, and how to download the latest meme "Registry System Cleaner Pro". Same thing with Linux and a distro like Ubuntu. On top of that, young people who grew up with iOS don't even know what a filesystem is - they're missing the fundamentals entirely.

Because I want to protect their freedoms

i gave my kid a shit laptop with squid and dansguardian to whitelist only the sites i wanted him to visit.

he learned how to operate it just fine. it's not that difficult, and he only had a passing interest in how to operate the computer. no interest in the nuts and bolts.

Nah, you want to dominate their choices. You are the sort, like sandnigs, who are incapable of viewing offspring as more than extensions of your autspergic self. Breeding is sadistic enough (all life suffers and dies) but torturing kids just generates more /b/tards.

I have the same standards for my children as I had for myself, how is that not good parenting?

because your standards are moronic

Have fun with your family of n33ts while my kid gets into harvard, retard

Get a raspi, so you can say to your kid "go ahead, wreck it by the software side, have fun, i can reflash it in minutes".

universities use proprietary software

When I was a teenager my mom laughed at me because she thought I was watching porn in my room and I was actually reading an article about Kierkegaard.

You overestimate the quality/stability of linux distributions. The average person doesn't want to install a operating system, definitely doesn't want to fix everything that needs to be fixed after installing.
