How do you lure your kids off iPhones?
Give them MacBooks…running a “cool” version of Linux. Snagged 2 old Airs for just €50 each.
Wiped macOS, & installed @elementary - a clean, distro that feels familiar to macOS users but comes with a lot less bloat. 
Now they’ve got “cool” Apple gear, with the the rich world of #Linux that respects their freedom and sparks curiosity.

    that’s better than what my dad did; he gave us computers with default fedora lol. threw me off linux for years.

    fedora’s very cool to be fair! but it felt very ugly and “unfashionable” at the time.
