Hey #linux people and #developers, I need your advice.

My 8 year old son has fallen in love with this old laptop that honestly isn't useful for that much as the speed and wifi is so slow.

But he says he wants to learn how to code on it.

This brought me back to the days of GW-basic when I was a kid.

Is there something like gw or q basic for Linux. Something that would run on a 32 bit computer?

@codemonkeymike I know it's not quite what you're asking but one option to just run the original QBasic inside Dosbox. That works great. Bringing back good memories of the Gorilla and Nibbles games for me.
