Funnily enough sometimes OpenMW worked too well. E.g. there is a script that damages the final boss for each of his "captains" that you kill, which never worked in the original version because IIRC the engine couldn't modify the health of an unloaded mob. In OpenMW it worked perfectly, with the side effect of subtracting exactly 100% of his health if you killed all underlings, resulting in you encountering a corpse as a final boss.

Best "works out of the box" desktop Linux experience I've had; which made me stick with it. I recommend the Budgie edition for a clean desktop environment that stays out of your way and doesn't confuse you with a billion configuration options. The packaging process is also quite easy in my opinion. In case you want to add some software that isn't yet available in the repository; either for everyone or just for your own use.
As a possible pain point starting out I've heard the installer can be a bit finicky (I myself had no problems with it though).

edit: Okay, I guess it's about the additional discussion below that particular tweet.

P.S. I can't imagine the stress of having small kids in an area with deadly animals. It's bad enough here in Austria, were there aren't as many dangers by far. Kids are too curious for their own good.
