My soon to be 4 year old is getting really good with the mouse and keyboard so we intend to set her up with her first computer for Christmas. I've got an old Lenovo Tiny with an i5-6500 and 8gb of RAM that I snagged from the junk pile at work that I'm going to setup with Mint or even just plain Ubuntu. I'm curious to see how long that PC lasts before we have to swap it out for something more powerful. Probably whenever she starts playing more demanding games that aren't just running from PBSkids.org
