I just set up a computer for my own kids and used Ubuntu from the get-go. About the only two things that have led to a bit of frustration from the kids have been that we can't play my collection of 1990s games on CDs (KOTOR, Deus Ex, etc) because they're all for Windows only, and that Roblox doesn't have a linux version.
I'm OK with them not thinking Roblox is a good way to learn to make games. Also, Steam on Linux with its custom version of Wine is awesome. And most 1990s games seem to cost about $5 to purchase again and not have to faff around with CD-keys...
