I mean, I don't really know, I don't plan to have kids and this is just one of the things that just feel like there is no right answer.

As for playful way, well... I am a monster. Some offline device with downloaded manuals (including Arch wiki), explanations of key parts of Linux and some basic networking, computer without OS, Arch Linux installer USB, and network connection possibly without DHCP server (with known network info).
And there you go. Figure it out. Archinstall should make it easy.

You can't start using Linux early enough. It's not about my daughter, but about my niece, but I'll keep that in mind when she's old enough.
