Watched my niece yesterday and while we were playing Minecraft she noticed that my laptop “windows n stuff” didn’t look lik the schools computers and I told her about linux and she got rly interested and now she wants a laptop “just lik mine” which is runnin Linux Mint
She’s somewhat technical apt, for a 10 year old, and I could probs dig up a decent laptop for her but not sure if I should jus dump mint on a laptop for her and let her have at it or something else?
Mint is good, just go with that.
You are familiar with it and can most easily help her if/when she needs it.
