I used to have this on a USB key for my daughter from age 2 to 5 (she is now 6).<p>The UX was terrible, full of inconsistencies, with different icon symbols in different positions from application to application to close windows, confirm menu choices etc.<p>But my daughter loved it to bits =) Some games are a lot of fun for a toddler.<p>And guess what, I think the struggle she experienced with the inconsistent UI may have been the best &quot;school&quot; she could have had for &quot;real world&quot; UIs.<p>At 6yo she is now completely autonomous navigating a Windows environment and any of the multitude of &quot;Frankenstein&quot; UIs I throw at her.<p>Might even revisit it now for the 1st grade level games I remember she couldn&#x27;t play back then.

I tried Doudou, and then Qimo, and finally gave up and gave my kids xubuntu.<p>The sad truth is that the childrens games like Childs Play are sad stale games with hopeless UIs and glaring bugs like mislabelled animals in quizzes and things.<p>I have lots of feedback from watching my kids learning to use and play with Doudou and Qimo; even though it is several years ago now, I think - from looking at the screenshots - that nothing much has changed :(<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;williamedwardscoder.tumblr.com&#x2F;post&#x2F;19500788060&#x2F;my-tech-savvy-generation" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;williamedwardscoder.tumblr.com&#x2F;post&#x2F;19500788060&#x2F;my-te...</a><p>I hope there are modern set of games produced, but I&#x27;d imagine they&#x27;d be better served over http into the browser than as native apps.

As the parent of a 1 year old, this looks great, can the content filtering be disabled, since this is a Live CD?<p>I wonder if there&#x27;s any evidence whatsoever for content filtering actually being useful for children&#x27;s development, as opposed to just reinforcing societal squeamishness.<p>The example they have[1] on their page is blocking the DuckDuck go result for &quot;sex&quot;, whose first result is the Wikipedia article.<p>I really can&#x27;t imagine why a child who&#x27;s developed enough to search for that on their own isn&#x27;t ready to read about it. To the extent that the parent needs to be around to explain things to the child I don&#x27;t see how that needs to be done for sex in particular, as opposed to say economics.<p>1. <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.doudoulinux.org&#x2F;web&#x2F;english&#x2F;documentation-7&#x2F;advanced-tools&#x2F;article&#x2F;parental-controls.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.doudoulinux.org&#x2F;web&#x2F;english&#x2F;documentation-7&#x2F;advan...</a>

From their &quot;Translator&#x27;s FAQ&quot; (which I think is meant for volunteers to help with localization):<p>&quot;How should I tell to pronounce DoudouLinux?<p>In French and Chinese it is pronounced “doodoolinux”. However as the word “doodoo” has a weird meaning in slang American English, we recommend English-speakers to say it as if it was an English word, the way they prefer to say it. We also ask to not write “doodoolinux” at all to avoid any confusion (except here!). Of course if pronouncing the word the French way has no awful meaning in your language, please tell to use this pronunciation.&quot;<p>I&#x27;m not sure I understand what they mean by &quot;say it as if it was an English word&quot; though.<p>* <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.doudoulinux.org&#x2F;web&#x2F;english&#x2F;contribute&#x2F;translate-doudoulinux&#x2F;article&#x2F;translator-s-faq.html#1.11" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.doudoulinux.org&#x2F;web&#x2F;english&#x2F;contribute&#x2F;translate-...</a>

I think we should define a low level learning virtual machine. Basically something like a C64 but updated to be a bit more modern. Have a virtual 4 core CPU that runs a fake machine code, have memory mapped IO so that you can put a pixel on a screen by writing a byte to memory, you can read a mouse position from a fixed memory address etc.<p>You could make it more advanced by using the IO. We could define things like a 3d graphics interface by defining virtual registers that take commands. Pretend hardware instead of an API.<p>Basically a fake blank computer for learning fun stuff on that&#x27;s a bit more modern than an old spectrum of C64 but still (emulated) basic hardware and no layers or libraries...<p>Perhaps if it became popular people might create the actual hardware... Hmm, I might make one :P

Personally i don&#x27;t understand why you need a 7 and under child to use a computer. And 7 year olds pick up computer just as quickly as an adult would if they used computers for the first time

I&#x27;d refrain from letting my infant kid (I don&#x27;t have one) use a computer. I&#x27;ve first seen one when I was 11 (about 2000) and I&#x27;m just fine with computers now. Plus, I&#x27;ve been able to play outside, run around, climb trees etc. It is a question of predisposition, not how early you&#x27;ve started with computers.

Is Edubuntu dead? No updates in over a year. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.edubuntu.org" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.edubuntu.org</a>

Reminds me a bit of the One Laptop Per Child project, which according to some people is a little bit defunct. They produced a distro called Sugar (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.sugarlabs.org" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.sugarlabs.org</a>) that might be worth looking into.<p>Now tablets have largely overcome laptops as an inexpensive computing device for children.<p>EDIT: not defunct as people let me know. thanks for pointing this out.

What does the research on computer literacy (if any) say about the appropriate time to introduce these things? I don&#x27;t think a five year old will be tremendously behind. UI literacy probably comes from mapping UIs to things you are familiar with in the real world. Command line literacy comes from knowing how to read, type, and organize information.

The home page is all about booting from CD-ROM drives but luckily it boots also from USB keys <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.doudoulinux.org&#x2F;web&#x2F;english&#x2F;documentation-7&#x2F;article&#x2F;get-doudoulinux.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.doudoulinux.org&#x2F;web&#x2F;english&#x2F;documentation-7&#x2F;artic...</a>

Very nice, but my 5yr old is discovering the mouse by playing Overwatch.<p>Such an environment is probably more required for seniors than children.

If a kid can&#x27;t figure out the default WM on a system, the default WM is doing something stupid, not the kid.

I have a soon-to-be-4. Is touchscreen a must? I&#x27;m not sure he will be very good with mice or trackpads.

Am I the outlier here? I don&#x27;t see my daughter - who is 6 - using a desktop regularly enough to need a special distro.. if she is using it, it&#x27;s that we are doing it together. I would like to see her have a Linux tablet though

A better webpage would be nice, something on the lines of ubuntu (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ubuntu.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ubuntu.com&#x2F;</a>)

This is stupid... Kids need to learn how to use a real computer. You&#x27;d be surprised how many high school juniors don&#x27;t know a thing about computers.

What an unfortunate name... I can only imagine telling a young kid he uses &quot;Doo Doo Linux&quot;

my 2 year old has been navigating Android for the last year no problem.<p>YouTube kids is great if you have a Red account. No commercials.<p>He loves my work laptop and I&#x27;m probably going to get him a Chromebook Flip when he turns three.
