I think Debian would be fine for that unless you're expecting the kid to install, set up, and administrate the system. Would be a good learning opportunity for a teenager though
Yeah. But for a kid who’s not going to give a shit about the difference between snaps and flatpak, just install mint or Ubuntu and call it a day. Unless you’re popping the hood and rifling around breaking things, they basically install and administrate themselves.
