I think TMG1961's advice is definitely the best, i.e. buy him his own laptop!
Simple. That way your computer doesn't get messed up.
Get him a cheap 2nd-hand laptop & install LL on it ...
Privacy fuss?
Surely, privacy issues are important. Isn't it about more than whether you're doing illegal stuff or not & not wanting to get caught? Isn't it about global organisations like Google, Facebook, etc.., profiling you from the data they harvest about you? Don't you find that creepy? It's like being stalked, but in the digital world? Isn't it more about their commercial gain, e.g. targeted advertising, than improving the internet environment for the user. Thankfully things have changed, at least in the right direction, since the Cambridge Analytica / Facebook scandal.

In the end, all these tracking services are supposed to make the Internet environment more personalized for the user.

64bit OS (32-bit on Samsung[i] netbook) installed in [i]Legacy mode on MBR-formatted SSDs (except pi which uses a micro SDHC card):
2017 - Raspberry pi 3B (4cores) ~ [email protected] - LibreElec, used for upgrading our Samsung TV (excellent for the task)
2012 - Lenovo G580 2689 (2cores; 4threads] ~ [email protected] - LL3.8/Win8.1 dual-boot (LL working smoothly)
2011 - Samsung NP-N145 Plus (1core; 2threads) ~ Intel Atom [email protected] - LL 3.8 32-bit (64-bit too 'laggy')
2008 - Asus X71Q (2cores) ~ Intel [email protected] - LL4.6/Win8.1 dual-boot, LL works fine with kernel 4.15
2007 - Dell Latitude D630 (2cores) ~ Intel [email protected] - LL4.6, works well with kernel 4.4; 4.15 doesn't work
