Reviving a Classic: Setting Up My Daughter’s First Laptop with Ubuntu
I recently undertook a rewarding project: rejuvenating my 12-year-old laptop and installing Ubuntu on it. This laptop is destined to be my four-year-old daughter’s first experience with technology, allowing her to explore typing and writing in a fun and engaging way.
One of my main goals is to create a user-friendly environment for her. I’m looking for an easy method to have the laptop boot directly into a text editor. This will help her get started without needing to navigate the complexities of a mouse, making the learning process smoother and more intuitive.
Additionally, I’m curious about whether it’s possible to set the device to start with Caps Lock enabled. This could enhance her experience as she learns to recognize and utilize the keyboard more effectively.
As I embark on this journey, I’m excited to see how my daughter engages with her new laptop and begins her exploration of the digital world! If you have any tips or insights on setting up a laptop for young learners, I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments.
