I’m conflicted by this post. On one hand, I appreciate another distro to learn about (thank you). But anytime Hyprland comes up, I am always reminded of that dev and community being transphobes/racists.

I’ve never looked at Hyprland and felt the need to switch from Sway, maybe thats just because I’ve been a user of it for long enough now. Years ago I read that Hyprland handles Teams screen shares better but I’m not sure.

A Pi 4 can do quite a bit. Maybe start off with some Docker apps. Try and host PiHole for ad blocking at home?

Video games come to mind. You could probably figure out how to host a game server of their choice (think something like Minecraft) so him and his friends can play. Docker is a nice shortcut for that, and you also get to sprinkle in some networking knowledge too for opening ports and such.

If games are off the table, could try to figure out some hardware to interact with. Having some sort of robot that you can control with an API could be fun.

On the line with hardware, you can get a raspberry pi, and try to work with him to blink an LED via Scratch or Python. Then work to something even bigger.

If typing is a struggle you could do typeracer or something like that to figure out who can type faster.

You could build a basic website together with some CSS and HTML. Make like, a fan site for his favorite band (or whatever hes into). Maybe he wants to make something for his friends to see.

Or, ask them if there is something theyve wanted to know how it works…then build some sort of project using it.
