We want to make ApollOS super child friendly and will add tools for kids and also prefer to remove all content not child save.

That’s great news Gunner. Someone should have done this in the Amiga market years ago.

Very nice idea for the future generations. I suppose it will leave it to funny WB games in game area, and some kids related games from 90s

Cotter's little girl is lovely. In a few years we'll have a new vampire influencer.

this is a great idea - then i'd be more happy to get the kids into some deluxe paint and protracker on Apollo without the risk of some hidden "content" popping up.

i just remember setting up an amikit install as the wife walked in to talk to me about something... just as a half naked catwoman picture appeared on screen as the default workbench backdrop.
"...oh i see why you do this..." was all she needed to say.
cue facepalm. it's like, come on guys, we're not 14 anymore! XD :laughing:

I fully agree.
I think Dpaint is easy to understand for Kids.
But as I seem to be to stupid to use Protracker - I'm not sure about this. Could you explain to me and others kids how to make music with Protracker?

Great idea,much better than letting kids access the web to play fun games suitable for their age group.
