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.

If you play RTS games it's really hard to do it without mouse and keyboard, so that's a point for a desktop or laptop
A 6 year old child though...
I played computer games since I was like 5 years old, it's not so hard to figure out when you just get to play a few hours a day. I figured stuff out by myself even though I didn't even speak English and everything was in English
