    My wife is not a fan of the idea, however .

    Divorce!

    Jokes aside, Edubuntu should cover you parental controls and Education tools needs. And since it comes with Gnome by default the UI should comfortable to your children. I suggest diving into it if you need more something sprecific. Good luck!

    PS: There are some good articles flying around about how to convert your loved ones to linux. I have one measly convert and my advice is to show them how can linux solve their problems.








  • Most launchers have a “run” mode were you can launch or exec any command, some require flags and/or config. As well as a “drun” mode that looks for desktop apps, most if not all TUI apps will be catches by this.

    Yofi will launch anything if you specify your terminal in the config file. That way you can launch desktop apps and TUI apps.

    In Wofi you have to specify the terminal but you have to do a workaround because of a bug that is not their fault. You can otherwise launch Wofi in “run” mode.

    Issue, reddit post the solution is linking gnome-terminal(or one of the others specified)

    For Tofi I think it comes ready out of the box if I remember correctly.

    And as for the aliases, some launchers have a rename function if that is helpful to you. Can’t remember which though… sorry.
