From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Personal opinion, I don't understand why more parents haven't moved to use Pi-Holes for content blocking. Since you can tailor your own blocklists, it's not impossible to do, and I'm pretty sure some enterprising folks have already made a Pi-Hole block list for porn and various adult websites.
Further, if your child figures out how to bypass the block, they're learning valuable skills, if nothing else.
To be fair, it seems like you're more concerned with overall screen time, and I don't have a better solution for that than you already have.
Maybe limiting internet usage is enough, spending extra time on a linux pc with no internet might just be an opportunity to learn something.
