I knew it was going to be Endless OS. This is a really cool distro, I wish more schools took note of it

That really is a tremendously amazing thing! Thanks for sharing - it's refreshing to have content that is so different in focus from the usual Linux Youtuber fare!

Wow amazing! My absolute favorite part about this is hack. Learning linux and also learning how to config things is pretty awesome. I would've loved this when I was a kid. But then again, linux wasn't as mature in the early 90's as it is now lol.

This is actually fantastic. I am so happy that stuff like this is being made to help teach them while they are young. The penguin army grows!

Great test, fun and atypical! I've been testing this distribution for a few days and I'm very pleasantly surprised! Even if I prefer for my personal use to use Solus KDE, I will propose Endless for my friends, families and also, the people a little old who have difficulties to use a computer. Here, the system files are read-only and the Flatpaks are updated automatically. Simple and pleasant! Thanks a lot for this video :) Sincerely from France.

That "taste of the internet" is probably the best parts, to be honest. As soon as they get a social media account they get corrupted.
Protect our future, ban social media!
(om maybe a bit harsh, but in principle correct) :)

I was dead sure it was going to be endlessOS.

it is a pretty good distro and something we should aim to help communities without internet.

I just bought my first Pi for my kids. Excellent timing.

@techhut Thank you for this review. I have been looking for a Linux distro for my grandchildren. In my search I came across this one a few weeks ago, but hadn't tried it. Now I'm going try it with my grandchildren as a live usb to see if they like it, and how much.

I have to say thank you. I saw this in my feed and was semi like, I should check this out or maybe not on the fence. Considering I plan on eventually making an after school STEM based place, this is useful and considering I never heard of this OS. So thank you for bringing this to light. I would say they need to have alternate languages, and maybe they do, but I will check it out since translation is a not that big of a deal. Thank you for highlighting this.

Really cool distro I never heard of before. Thanks for sharing!

[DMSBrian]

I hope this is still worked on and updated in the future, really awesome project

[goldibollocks]

The notification style tutorial and the hacking toolkit look pretty cool!

Thanks man, I was just searching for a Kids distro since I'm getting a laptop for one of them, this changed my mind about the distro that I had planned.

[RohithkannaDuraiswamy]

I feel this would be great for even just basic navigations of gnome. Especially for users coming from windows.

[marufbepary]

I'm so impressed by this that I will install it my little brothers computer

[montre-moi]

Man, as a kid I could not even DREAM of having something like this.
