You seem to think that the world is either black or white, but reality is more nuanced than that. Plus, the fact that you learned a certain thing in a certain way doesn't mean that it is the best way for everyone else to learn that thing.
It is. You are either willing to spend time with your child or you aren't.
Now I think you're trolling, because at no point this discussion was about the will of spenting time with your children or lack thereof.
You not wanting to teach your kids is not me trolling. This thread is only about what Linux setup to use to help teach your kids about computers. Teaching kids takes time.
I know this is complicated (it isn't), but parenting requires a dedicated investment of time. Or, just get them an iphone like most other parents and ignore them all day. Or maybe you can hire a surrogate parent to teach them since you have more important things to do.

You seem to think that you can only spend 24 hours a day with your child or zero.
The expectation for most people here is that you throw a toy at a child and if its not Windows they will just get smarter (magically)... maybe even teach themselves to become a rocket company CEO.
This thread just reinforces, to me, that people who claim to write software skew highly autistic. Nothing I said here is complicated, but when you are a person with exceptionally low social intelligence spending more than 5 minutes a day with your kid might really feel the same as 25 hours.
I am not kidding when I say just get your kid an iphone and pat yourself on the back. You are either trying to teach your kid something directly with your time or you are just expecting them to want to figure it out themselves because you can't be bothered.
