Comedy option: Give them Linux From Scratch [1] and the minimum set of tools and packages required to bootstrap it.

App store? Yeah we have one, it's called make.

Unironically this though. Computers are bad for children, if they want to use them, make then actually learn what they're getting into.

Or even better, don't let them have any kind of computer at all. Unfortunately that only works if your entire community goes down that route
