This is 1 question what parents are asking, if children requested to have accounts on a family computer. However; user accounts via Linux computers are built for privacy, but a family computer with educational games or books available to read is common for kids to be educated at school. Although; Windows is known to have user accounts with UAC (User Account Control) that is subject to flaws. With Linux; you can add users to your machine,–if you are a parent.
To Create A User Account
Open an app on your Ubuntu computer after displaying all of these apps, you must be an administrator to create user accounts.
If you were prompted for a password; type it in.
Create a user account per each child. Each person must learn a new password, and be educated about keeping your password safe, alternatively, you can set users to log into their accounts without passwords,–just like setting up children’s accounts on a school computer.
You can give each child an icon graphic that resemble his/her account, and a nickname.
Repeat each cycle when creating new accounts.
Now, your kids are able to log into a computer,–just like they do at school.
If you set your children’s accounts as standard users; they won’t make unnecessary changes to your computer. Well, if any members of your family migrate at the age of 18 or 21; your kids may need to get their data exported. This is useful if you wanted to free up space for your machine.
Unlike Windows; these accounts are easy to manage. You can also switch users for checking if any of your kids has been doing on their browsers. This is useful if you wanted children to view content that is safe for children.
If your children has grown up, and they have jobs
If you have children who are no longer teenagers and they reached at least 18 years of age; and your children are at work; you can encourage them to buy their own computer by enabling them to use a Linux computer instead of Windows. If your children are 16 years old; don’t lift safety restrictions,–until age 25; that way; they won’t enter the world of erotica. If any of your adults of your family write erotic content, or beginning to write erotic content; you must encourage them to buy their own machines. Most erotic authors rely on their own machines. However; You can encourage your growning child to migrate to a different machine, or stick with a familiar machine.
If you live in a certain area where is susceptible to sex predators, you may need to help protect your children against sexual harm. Installing software that is designed to block pornography and erotica is key to prevent children from seeing pornography and sex in the first place!
If you subscribed to any of these streaming services, you may need to rely on a free alternative as a way to save money. Ubuntu doesn’t have a capability of playing DRM-enabled content. Turning on this feature in your browser is discouraged. Instead; rely on a dedicated browser to play this kind of content, alternatively; get a library card via your local library in your area, and use these following apps like Hoopla, Kanopy to help save money,–useful is you unsubscribed from paid streaming services.
If your children write books on their computer
If your child has a talent; and she requests you to publish books for him/her, this is useful if you used a computer as a book-writing machine. This is very useful if you wanted to publish and monetize your books. You can form your children’s work into a large book written by a family. This is useful if you publish books as a business. If you have 4 children, and you have each child who wrote 4 books; this is useful to help reduce financial issues. Self-publishing platforms can help you go through.
The following section will provide you information when your children became talented with their books that they’re writing; and you published their content to self-publishing platforms (DRM-Free):
- You may be able to make more money, and you are able to reduce spending costs as you publish more books. If you managed to keep your family talented like most rich families… or any type of family; financial stability can rise overtime.
- If your children started early, and you developed a set of box into 1 unit; you can able to have readers read books via a subscription service, or standalone libraries.
- A family computer with an array of books what children wrote may earn you some money, and you can rely on a stream of revenue overtime.
Caution
Always educate your children about being safe on the internet; if your child has reported something wrong online, such as a sex offender sending your child pornographic, sexual, erotic, or any illegal sexual content, that also includes child pornography; contact your local law enforcement immediately, and apply measures to your system. If you have trouble applying measures… have a specialist aply these measures for you!
Educate your children about saying “NO” to erotica and other sexual content.
Traditional parental controls won’t work what you’ve expected. However; you can build your own application… and that’s a way to protect your children.
Common companies… such as Google, Facebook, Microsoft, and other companies take exploitation of children very seriously.
Today, law enforcement rely on decoys to help catch sex predators.

You can have user accounts on your family computer on an Ubuntu machine. These accounts on Ubuntu machines are built to last, and they’re built to be stable than Windows.
