Been a few years since using Emacs extensively. From memory, IRC is a good fit for what you are after for texts and some emojis. No clue regarding multimedia messages.
If IRC is acceptable
Make your own channel on say, Libera chat, set your own rules for how long those messages are retained. Make a user for each of your devices. You are set. I've used ERC a few years under Emacs. Also used GNUS for reading and writing emails from the big providers.
If the MacBook is an Apple Silicon Mn processor one, Asahi is the obvious choice
For other cases
My first suggestion would be to try the distribution you used in WSL
Second would be Linux Mint, can't go wrong with either of Ubuntu edition or the Debian edition
Third would be OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. Though a rolling distribution, with easy rollback commands, any unusable state can easily be left behind

Apparently some pine nuts from China cause this
OpenSUSE newcomer here, from decades of Debian and Debian derived systems.
I vote Debian with Xfce4 for the base system with Nix or Guix to let the kids freely install and play with software as required without requiring root. Stable release should be good. Testing release if time and resources to keep up with the updates are at hand.
Along with teaching the kids computers and software, please also consider teaching them how the Debian packagers, maintainers, developers, testers, admins, etc work and might never meet others in the project whilst releasing a great system every couple of years.
Around the same time just have a think did a deeper dive on the idea https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcSnwW5v3f8 . In the spirit of protecting the environment, it would be good to accommodate birds, wildlife etc in the thought process.
Like you said, looks like a combination of resources, financing, political will and, the technology itself seem to have come together to bring us here.
True, I think the building is 5 or 6 stories tall. Not ABC, across the street from it.
I see businesses like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4s2b4US1Xdk every now and then. The fact that not one of them has taken off yet should have told me volumes.
Thanks for the detailed response.
Does anyone know anything about vertical axis wind turbines? I see a lonely VAWT on the rooftop of the building across the street from ABC on Harris Street Ultimo. Could neatly complement rooftop solar panels.
Ah Found it ๐
