mrmaplebar fedia.ioBazzite. Treat it like a game console. However, generally speaking, 11 year olds should be made to learn new things in my opinion.28
cchunes lemmy.worldBarring a developmental disorder, "serious aversion to learning new things" is something I might expect from a 50-year-old, not an 11-year-old.27
jordanlund lemmy.worldIf you don't like learning new things, then I guess the #1 question is "what are you familiar with?" Right now, the easy entry points have been Ubuntu or Mint. https://ubuntu.com/desktop https://linuxmint.com/ If you have money, I'd suggest a Steam Deck in desktop mode, but those are getting hard to find with the RAMpocalypse. https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/671A-4453-E8D2-323C18
ZZwuzelmaus feddit.org ...an 11 year old who has a serious aversion to learning new things? SRSLY? Troll question? 11 year olds want to learn everything. At least the normal, healthy ones. And they are quick with it. However, if she does not want to learn things from you, then that is a totally different question. Then I say, let it be for about 25 years...7
redlemace lemmy.worldTry arch. You don't learn it, you have to fight and conquer it. (Stick with the known. Mac, windows, linux, whatever, just familliar thing)3
I'm gonna say one has just tipped over into rule 5 territory. Locking.
Probably Mint

Bazzite with Steam big picture and all the non-game apps loaded?

If you're into gaming... Bazzite
Maybe Mint or Zorin?
