I went from VB6 to C#, and lived through the drama surrounding the end of VB6. Everyone one had something to say, but here are some words from Bruce McKinney https://classicvb.net/hardweb/mckinney.htm
Here's the same sample as OP in Markdown Footnotes syntax. There is a link to the rendered page [2].

Browser based game where you try to pick two matches cards. When the pandemic started, I played this a lot with my kids (they were better every time). Got tired of shuffling cards and laying it out and I wanted to learn Javascript, so.

#2 Grade 2 Spelling Practise
My daughter had to learn spelling of a few words every week in Grade 2. To help her test it, I wrote a Windows desktop app that would say the word and she had to spell it.

#3 Bulk Tag Remover from Pinboard
I had too many tags that it became useless so I had to retag all my links in Pinboard, the website doesn't let you do it in bulk so I made a Windows desktop app (also wanted to try out XAML).
Are they good?
By the way, I recently migrated a weblog from Wordpress to Hugo on Netlifly. It was easy! Just add a post in GitHub and it automatically triggers a build in Netlifly and the post is live in seconds! You can also have your own custom domain for free.
Don’t have recent experience with Jekyll but can’t imagine it being that painful with the build/customization.
I am recording one right now!
The assumption that all the files in Google Drive is in a single server is false.
You can sync Google Drive on one or more computers and have local backup copies too. That is also not mentioned.

Lubuntu like all Ubuntu have standard users with limited access and that is what my son has but I am less worried about his access to the computer or to the computer's features than about him seeing ads or things that isn't appropriate for his age.
HEADLINE: Child friendly (ad blocker, content filter)
DESCRIPTION: For my son's first computer, I picked Lubuntu and spent days making it "internet ready". I installed Dansguardian + Privoxy, then added uBlock Origin to Chrome, then added OpenDNS to my home router. It was a lot of searching online and trial & error but worth it. From time to time, I check websites he visited and what got blocked (grepping logs) and adjust accordingly. One problem with this is updates are blocked so I must disable proxy manually every time I update.
Please consider making something like this available out-of-the-box. Something that can be enabled/disabled with a few clicks. Also, a simple way to review history and adjust settings. It would make Ubuntu an excellent choice out-of-the-box for all kids. Thank you for asking.
