QIMO A Child Friendly Operating System

Design Image

QIMO: An Overview Qimo 4 Kids (pronounced "kim-oh", as in "eskimo") [2] is a child-friendly desktop environment built entirely with free software. Qimo comes pre-installed with educational games for kids: TuxPaint, eToys, GCompris, Tuxmath, and Tuxtyping. [2]desktop environmentfree softwareTuxPainteToysGComprisTuxmathTuxtyping Large colorful icons help young users navigate easily. It is "designed for early elementary school aged children. Qimo is based on Xubuntu, using Xfce and is designed to be visually appealing for kids." [3] The fact that Qimo is based on Xubuntu, helps provide low hardware requirements: minimum of 256MB of memory to run from the CD, or 192MB to install. At least 6 GB of hard drive space and a 400 MHz or faster CPU is neededXubuntu [3]

Reviews: We’ve talked about Linux software for kids a few times here at MakeTechEasier, but so far we’ve never actually sat down to take a closer look at whole distributions intended for children. Many people are familiar with Edubuntu, the Ubuntu spinoff intended for school and other educational institutions, but you may not know much about Qimo. Unlike Edubuntu, which is designed for a client- server network model, Qimo is intended for a sole desktop user – in this case children 3 years old and up. It uses a customized version of the XFCE desktop, with large icons and simple menus, to make it easy to navigate. Included are many of the top titles in kids software for Linux, such as GCompris and TuxPaint. Today we’ll take a look at what Qimo has to offer, and submit it to the ultimate test: a real live toddler.about LinuxEdubuntudesktop user

Advantages: It is designed for children It is simple and easy to use It has games and software built in It is open sourced

Disadvantages: As it is designed for children older and more experienced users will find the interface and software limited.

Future outlook: To be able to design better and more user- friendly operating systems for children.

Summary: QIMO is a highly visual user-friendly operating system which is great for teaching young children about computers.
