So I run my "Hub" on a Pi3+ - and I run everything on it in docker. (I'm a
docker fan...)

The OS for me is stock Rasbian - so I know it works, although my Rasbian is now
 "old" I think, (based on stretch), as I think the current Rasbian is based on
buster.

In the "OS" side of things, it is all standard - because everything I tweak or
play with is in a docker container - that can be anything you want. (The hub is
 a buster container, and my SBBS that I'm about to move back is a stretch
container.)

I digress - what to use for your kids - I would go defaults (ie: Raspbian) -
lots of (project) documentation around assume it is in place on Pis.

I just built a RetroPi for my son - with a few roms - he loves it (he's 8). I
saw the mindcraft server stuff, so that might be the next project - but he wont
 get minecraft until his birthday in a few months.
