I put linux on an old laptop for my kids to play with, but I want them to see me using it as well so it's not just seen as a kids' toy.

My plan was to browse the internet on it from time to time, but I don't want to sign into anything like my emails on there.

I've just been completely at a loss to think ofthings to do on this laptop that aren't Wikipedia, news websites, and search.

Is there anything else to do on the internet these days than login and doomscroll?

    Omegle didn't R.I.P.

    The replacements do but oh well there's always fake profiles. In general with the web, I can't think of much that's child friendly, that's for sure... same-as-it-ever-was

    I'll ponder it and update:

    • Read news/blogs
    • Read some hobby forums
    • File share

      Was Omegle ever a good site to use? I thought it was just a place for libertarian-alert creeps to do their thing and that its demise was a net positive. That was just my impression so maybe I'm wrong?
