Probably most of the OS or program-specific stuff they’re learning in school will be out of date when they’d profit from using it anyways. Children need to learn more general concepts, otherwise they end up like my mom suffering every time windows decides to change the UI.

For that matter, mixing windows and Linux might be even better since they’ll need to adapt and transfer knowledge (although this would probably be painful and exhausting for everyone involved)
