but even if he had access to steam on ubuntu they still could not
throw games at him because most steam game require windows and there
are not many for ubuntu.

Meant to recommend Debian.

For what you have in mind, I would go with if you can get
away without uefi. It uses a root accout and doesn't make
everyone a sudoer. Ubuntu is awesome but it has access to
Steam. Also, Debian has Debian junior.

same for me. I want my 8 year old son I just set up a
distro that has lots of age appropriate games but yet the
distro has to be accessible for me pretty much just work
so he can play games watch netflix in chrome tv on the
xfinity comcast site with flash and some stuff on youtube.
oh and when he gets older it should be then powerful
enough to still serve him by letting him write and print
research papers and do math and powerpoints so he can do
his schoolwork in something that acts sort of like word
and is also a gui and easy to use.

recommend using a different distributor. That
person does not have your convenience as a
customer as his priority. Only one of those will
work with Orca without hastles. Even then, you
will most likely run into trouble down the road if
you go and buy something you want to connect to it
like a scanner, a printer, Bluetooth keyboard or
something like that because it will probably have
bad hardware support. If you are new to Linux,
you are probably unfamiliar with the process of
hunting down a driver and enabling it in your
kernel. It’s a royal pain. If you want a
pre-installed distro, go with the fellow that
sells Ubuntu. It’s accessible, user-friendly and
does not limit you as much in what kind of
hardware you can install. If you want to go the
Free/Libre route, wait till you have some more
familiarity with Linux down in the guts of the
thing and then switch your distribution at that
time. Otherwise, you may encounter some
frustration down the road. When you are learning
something, you want it to work reliably so you
don’t spend half your time wondering if you should
be fixing something and the other half split
between doing it and learning how to use it.

Dear List, thanks for the replies
to my previous question they were helpful. I have
found another supplier of linux laptops, he will
only install the following distros. Are any of
these any good with orca?
