When you're a kid it's precisely the time to learn about and deal with all the minutia. Tell them it's like Minecraft but you're building an operating system instead of a world.

Yeah obviously, but as long as the kid is interested in bulding an OS from the ground up, if he wants to do webdev, 3d design, music production, writing or whatever, it's just gonnna be an useless hassle.
And this comes from someone who spent a good amount of his teenage years toying with linux, arch, slackware, lfs, whatever. It was good fun but nowadays I think it was mostly useless and I'd rather had finished dev projects or whatever.
