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.

Speaking of which, I’m trying to move my household over to Linux to have more control and whatnot.

Does anybody know of a less invasive/problematic Roblox like game?

For now I play along with my kid to keep an eye out which is mildly fun but not always a valid solution.

Minecraft custom maps and modded are two ways to go. S&box is the spiritual successor to Gmod and is a great option.

It's likely a joke it's not posted by the owner willem steller and roblox hasn't announced anything in their newsroom also their admins are pretty critical of roblox
