    You think I should tell a You think I should tell a 6 year old kid to fix a broken Linux system? I’m sorry this has turned from discussion into bullshit.

      6yo? Maybe not, although they probably could. My point was they will learn if they have to. 6yos are capable of far more than people give them credit for. They just need an incentive. They probably won’t understand the system, but they can probably fix simple issues, which is also probably the only issues they’d create. They probably won’t be using the terminal. At least by 10 they’re capable of it.

      The problem of the convo is that the other commenter talked without knowing the kid age, i agree that it’s unrealistic to make a 6 years old kid fix any system at all, thought i can see a 11 years old learning that

      You’re underestimating children. When I was around that age I had to fix my broken PC because nobody around me knew how to (parents didn’t care for Computers) and the next repair shop was far away.
      My only support was some of the IT staff from School and books. I was setting up Windows 95 and making my own DOS boot floppies before I hit my teens, and I’m just the average working class person.
