Suggest any game for kids that run on Linux?

Do you suggest any games for kids to introduce them to computer that run on Linux. I tried some web games but they're very short. I think it's time for some offline games, but I'm not a gamer, have never played games before, just one to use game to make the kids interested in learning about computer. It would be better if it's educating games.

I've about had it with Windows

Just 15 more years left until I can retire and be DONE with Window$. It's really there only reason I can see that would make my life difficult at this point. An operating system shouldn't be so cumbersome that it can barely diagnose and/or give you the information that you need in order to repair it because the code is walled off. Windows Insider is a hot mess that managed to commit suicide last night during a hard drive migration. Yes, a simple hard drive change went insanely wrong because Window$ threw a hissy-fit. I'm seriously considering walking away from the dumpster fire that is Window$ and going with Mint running the Cinnamon DE. My only qualm is with my network card (no Linux support). 🤦🤬

Getting my project packaged by distros

Hi people,

​

I've been doing free software for over a decade now and I've contributed to many projects. Many distros have at least one line of code that I wrote.

​

I'm starting a second academic adventure and I'm going to have less free time, but I do want some projects of mine (especially [https://github.com/dimkr/nss-tls](https://github.com/dimkr/nss-tls) and [https://github.com/dimkr/loksh/](https://github.com/dimkr/loksh/)), which don't change much, to be apt install away from users. I'm not a Debian developer, nor a Fedora or Arch developer, so I don't think I can be the maintainer. And even if I take care of the packaging bureaucracy, I won't be a responsive maintainer. I have enough free time to be a developer, though - these projects are small and don't require that much attention, yet, they're very useful IMHO.

​

What is the best way to get these projects packaged by major distros?

How do I make a bootable USB drive with Ubuntu with persistent data?

I have an 8GB USB drive and I want a Linux Distro on it. I picked Ubuntu as I feel it is the best one for keeping track of networks and hosting websites. Any tutorials or documentation would be appreciated.

Linux alternative to Microsofts "Your Phone" app?

Microsofts "Your Phone" app lets you receive and answer messages from an android phone, and receive notifications. The app is planned to let you mirror your android phone to your pc, so that you can act on other notifications than just messages. Is there any linux alternative (preferably foss) with about the same functionality?

Distros with a nice app store

Ok...here's the background: I run Windows 10 on my desktop. I got an Amazon Echo dot and wanted to run it through my computer speakers in the next room over until I could find some nice speakers with a sub I wanted for it. Windows doesn't let you change the bluetooth ID, but linux does....so I could have my computer advertise itself as computer speakers....then the echo dot would connect to it and send audio to it.

So, I installed virtualbox and it worked fabulously until I found my speakers I wanted. But, rather than delete virtualbox, I decided I wanted to install some linux distros and play with them. I run Mint on my laptop so I didn't want to play with it. I tried Manjaro and they don't really have an app store-like app. I can use synaptic and such, but I prefer something where I get nice denoscriptions, maybe screenshots and reviews...so I can sit and browse.

After Manjaro, I tried Elementary. I couldn't see settings to keep it from looking like OS X (which I don't like). I also tried to install the virtualbox guest additions and it told me make, gcc, etc. weren't installed. Searching for them in the app store didn't find them.

So, other than Mint, Ubuntu and Elementary, what distros come with a nice interface for browsing and installing software packages?
