The question is not as much shelf life, as whether you want your kids to be builders or consumers.

You can put Linux on Macbooks, you can build on macOS.

  • You cannot run Linux on the macbook neo at the time of writing, unless you mean in a VM, and the processor + memory are barely enough to reasonably manage that. Even a mid-sized rust project, or a nixos build, would OOM for a VM.

  • Environments foster certain behaviors, even restrictions foster certain behaviors, sometimes the opposite of what you try to restrict. There are no right answers :)
