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.

Parental controls? (lemm.ee)

Hi all,

I'm getting a pc for my daughter. I'll install Fedora KDE Spin. I'm looking for a parental control solution that also integrates with her Android phone. I'm currently using Google's Family Link which while not great it offers enough. I'd be happy to move to any other solution that can count both device's usage screen time as one so she doesn't use up her phone and then move to the PC.

Any cool recommendations?

There's some free dns servers which block certain stuff (pretty sure adguard has them, other products are available) which can be set on the router and/or the device itself. This is not very flexible but it's easy to set up.
