Making OpenSuse more fun for the kids

English Open Chat
#1

Alright after finally settling for OpenSuse as my primary OS for the next 6 months or so I have some inquiries.
Firstly this is for my kids, they have used what I have used for ages now (Ubuntu)
For them I installed the Edubuntu themes, wallpapers, you know kid friendly stuff.
What I am looking for right now is some nice cartoony themes for OpenSuse.
Like a fun wallpaper with the OpenSuse lizard on it, they like lizards (even my girl likes them, but shes always been a tomboy)
The icon set I can probably find on my own, I could probably give them the gartoon icon theme like I did in Ubuntu, and I know the education software I used so I can install that too.
But yeh suggesting some neat wallpapers featuring the OpenSuse mascot for the kids would be cool, something kiddy and cartoony and fun to make my kids feel at home.

Buy VMware for Linux - $180 a copy - run XP in a virtual machine. Problem solved.

Eyecandy for openSUSE - SUSE-Art.org choose what you like I imagine there is a fair few bits with geckos.

No XP’s luna theme is too preschool lol!
Actually my kids have been using linux for a while now, almost as long as I have.
They are smart and see how borked XP can get.

No need, just install XPDE.
