|---|---|---|
| robb_nl | moonhead: sadly enough not. see https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2016-March/039281.html | 19:54 |
| moonhead | thanks robb_nl. i was getting that feeling, but could not find evidence. | 19:54 |
| robb_nl | technically it is supported untill april 2019... | 19:54 |
| robb_nl | when ubuntu 14.04 LTS runs out of support | 19:55 |
| robb_nl | I think you would be better off with skolelinux.... (or can't I say that in this channel?) | 19:55 |
| moonhead | :) | 19:56 |
| robb_nl | what are you looking for moonhead ? | 19:56 |
| moonhead | right on. thanks for the idea. seems like most kid friendly projects are dead in the water. | 19:56 |
| robb_nl | I know another school project that might be VERY interesting... | 19:56 |
| robb_nl | linuxschools.com a server based on Ubuntu LTS + an Ubuntu client that preconfigures all services that the server offers | 19:57 |
| moonhead | nothing specific, but was hoping to find something with recent kernel and drivers. i have a chromebook that didn't seem to play nicely until 15.10. and, honestly, i just don't feel like doing a whole bunch of work to make this thing reasonably useful for a4 year old. | 19:57 |
| robb_nl | ah ok... just a client is what you need... :) | 19:58 |
| moonhead | yeah | 19:58 |
| robb_nl | I remembered a distro called doudou linux... but that is not being maintained either... | 19:59 |
| moonhead | right | 19:59 |
| moonhead | neither is sugar or qimo or most anything else i can find | 20:00 |
| robb_nl | OpenSuSE has an EDU version of the client that is active | 20:00 |
| mhall119 | yeah, qimo has been retired :( | 20:03 |
| mhall119 | all the games are still in Ubuntu though | 20:03 |
| mhall119 | I should make a snap package of the wallpapers.... | 20:03 |
| robb_nl | yeah gcompris, childsplay and all the tux applications are great for kids... | 20:05 |
| moonhead | thanks for the suggestions. i'll check into the opensuse edu option | 20:08 |
| robb_nl | btw, you mention sugar... you ever used an XO laptop? | 20:08 |
| moonhead | no | 20:09 |
| robb_nl | I had one when my kids were very young. they absolutely didn't need any explanation, even when they never touched a pc before... | 20:10 |
| robb_nl | great OS.... | 20:10 |
| robb_nl | for kids.. ;) | 20:10 |
| robb_nl | on standard hardware you can use it through sugar on a stick | 20:11 |
| robb_nl | https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick | 20:12 |
| robb_nl | still actively developed! | 20:12 |
