Windows 11’s push for mandatory Microsoft accounts is hitting a nerve with users who say the change complicates setup, privacy, and basic PC ownership

I’m in the process of getting my kids their first PC this Christmas. They’ll both get a mini-PC, with severely restricted Internet access. I’m actually thinking about just letting them connect to the home server where I’d mock the Web sites I pick for them. For this reason, Win11 with its online account requirement is automatically excluded from consideration. I wated to give them Mint anyway, but this was the argument that convinced my wife.

You should keep an eye on Gnome. Their recent release, Gnome 50, just introduced parental controls to limit access to programs and they're looking to implement website access as well. I don't like Gnome, but my kid's first PC will have Gnome on it now because of these new features, which I greatly appreciate

I think you should let the kid just use variety of systems and desktops over time. It’s fine if it likes something different than you in the end as well, and there’s a chance that they will like GNOME more if they are more used to mobile UI’s.
