I printed out a Gentoo manual in 2004 and compiled from scratch to a working os with x. I ruined it a week later and went back to Windows and learned nothing that stuck with me. Ive been messing around with free slackware cd’s since the late 90’s, whole smart home is running debian and ive been gaming on linux close to 10 years now, the synenergy with the deck is fantastic.
I’m gonna try and start the course in the top comment :)
I remember my parents telling me id get something like a free drivers license if i didnt smoke before 18.
My son is getting a ‘homebrew’ 3Ds & Switch, later Steam Deck II etc if he stays away from tiktok, roblox, youtube and the likes :)
If he wants to watch something id rather build a server and curate it.
