nowadays, no kids will allow you to install Linux in their PC. No one is interested. The only way to get them to pay some attention is through a bootable usb that is fully self-explanatory and which can be put into productive use immediately (like 5 minutes).As I mentioned previously, our immutable usb extensively uses appimages for major apps. Appimages such as those for LibreOffice, GIMP, Google Chrome, Krita, Inkscape, VLC, and various other video/audio editing apps are stored in an external partition which is mounted to the live iso during boot. This keeps the live iso small. but more importantly, they can be easily added and upgraded without going through the remasterization steps. Inkscape 1.4 is no exception:

Many years ago, one of our students brought his daughter to the class. We gave her a usb stick which has Krita installed as part of the persistence (at that time running Ubuntu). Just like when we became self-taught and self-proclaimed Linux experts (
), she sort of became an expert in Krita entirely on her own. Eventually she was charging $100 a pop to do digital portraits from photos (she was too young to work at the McDonald's). As our knowledge improved, we have done away with the persistent usbs--because they are not immutable. Relatively wide availability of appimages made this possible. The following is a screenshot of Krita 5.2.6:
