  • Tangential answer. Consider looking into Prolog, Picat, Mercury languages. You can effectively let the database design be taken care of by the language. In return you get more time to reflect on your knowledge base and ask it all sorts of questions and get a range of possible answers.

    Org-roam and its web cousin webnotes both have solved designing the database for note taking purpose using g sqlite as a back end. Good options.





  • Three diets come to the mind. Mediterranean, Atlantic, Mormon diet as it is designed and followed in America. Followers of these diets tend to live healthy and long. What the three diets have in common is, each of them is local and seasonal to a large extent.

    Local and seasonal. Eases the transportation load and refrigeration load. Both contribute to what you refer to as good for the planet .

    Perhaps letting every region design and foster its own local and seasonal diet is a good idea.

    That brings us to the food industry. How may we escape the sales and marketing armies of the food industry? A great challenge indeed.






  • If the MacBook is an Apple Silicon Mn processor one, Asahi is the obvious choice

    For other cases

    My first suggestion would be to try the distribution you used in WSL

    Second would be Linux Mint, can’t go wrong with either of Ubuntu edition or the Debian edition

    Third would be OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. Though a rolling distribution, with easy rollback commands, any unusable state can easily be left behind


  • OpenSUSE newcomer here, from decades of Debian and Debian derived systems.

    I vote Debian with Xfce4 for the base system with Nix or Guix to let the kids freely install and play with software as required without requiring root. Stable release should be good. Testing release if time and resources to keep up with the updates are at hand.

    Along with teaching the kids computers and software, please also consider teaching them how the Debian packagers, maintainers, developers, testers, admins, etc work and might never meet others in the project whilst releasing a great system every couple of years.
