Gen Alpha doesn’t care about privacy online. They need to be guided by their parents to care, e.g. when they buy a laptop, they install some Linux distribution on it before they give it to the child.
They’ve been primed not to. They’ve grown up surrounded by social media where oversharing with your legal name attached is incentived, both by the companies and the lonely, drama-hungry users. I wish we’d pushed harder against this back in the early days of Facebook, but I doubt most of us saw this coming.
they most likely want to game on their laptop as well. Linux is capable, but usually requires good configuration and troubleshooting, that a gen alpha kid can’t do, and parents are busy. This is why it is not a widely practiced thing
