#Introduction Kidux is a Debian-based Linux built to be a child's first computer: each child signs in with their avatar into a locked session with only the learning programs an adult enabled (Scratch, GCompris, Blockly, BASIC, PhET…), no open web, daily time limits from an adult panel. Free software (GPL), English and Spanish, runs on old 64-bit PCs with 2 GB. Trial image for VirtualBox/UTM. v0.2.7, one maintainer, testers aged 4, 6 and 8. https://kidux.org #Linux #FOSS #LinuxForKids
