I’m thinking about building a desktop with one of my kids and I would really prefer to put Linux on it. My wife is not a fan of the idea, however.

I’m wondering are there any good Linux distros/utilities for children that include parental control features and things like that? And that are easy to use for a child who has only used basic Chromebooks in the past?

For reference the child is under 12.

    I’m 100% in agreement with you here. I have two teenage boys that we’ve taken that approach with since they were little. We trust them and they trust that they can discuss just about anything with us. For us, it has worked out very well. I’ve witnessed too many micromanaged kids fall apart when they leave home.
