From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

That's why I think this is such a good question. How can we incorporate (linux) computers more in the digital literacy of children so they don't fall victim to the golden cages of android and ios before they develop the maturity to understand what a handicap it is.
@ISOmorph@feddit.org maybe by playing games of the 80s and the 90s ??🤔🤔🤔

Linux is literally in every device in your home. Doesn't mean you're kids need to engage with it.
