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.

    Lol no. To all their friends they’ll say: ”yeah I know it’s not legit, it’s some weird thing dad hacked there for some reason. I want to have a real one but he won’t install it idk”

      Yup exactly. The better way is to show off what Linux can do like all the ricing stuff (legitimately just do it the same way PewDiePie did in his video). Trickery never works long term on kids.
