You know, every time I see something like this, I wonder how many government endpoints are Windows-based. This sends a shiver down my spine.

Doesn’t work that way. We should stop attacking each other and start attacking the people actually responsible for this nonsense. Apple both was the first for gluing the phone together and removing the headphone port. Every other device manufacturer follows suit such that people cannot choose. Samsung was publicly mocking Apple for locking the bootloader and guess what? Which Samsung phone can now freely install any operating system? That’s right, none of the more modern ones.

Only the new battery initiative from the EU which forces manufacturers to make batteries normally replaceable again, will change that in 2027. Short version is, if there isn’t any sort of bigger power forcing them to do something, they will refuse to, as long as screwing you makes more money. And in most cases, it does.

If you want something easy, you can install one of the “Just Works” distros. Even though Manjaro advertises themself as beginner-friendly, they certainly are far from it.

Debian and PopOS are both great choices.

If the children had assault rifles on them at all times, they could have defended themselves. Assault rifles, pump guns and other long weapons are perfect for children, since they cannot point it at themselves and pull the trigger at the same time. Also to further enhance the safety of your child, just be sure to give them soft point ammo, since it would shatter on impact with any harder wall and avoid ricochet.

Edit: God save President Trump and watch over all of your children.
