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.

I got mine a comic book which introduces making simple games in mit scratch. The kid loved the comic, read it multiple times. We sat together and entered the game, had a lot of fun changing the characters, and never did that again (I'm not pushing). The computer is still a boring thing dad does for work.
It doesn't help that I can't explain what I'm doing on my computer on the few times the kid bothers to ask. I'm writing a program that transforms this wall of text into that spreadsheet 🥱
Care to name the comic? My kid likes going onto scratch and checking out other people's stuff, and made a few little animations himself...but the whole thing is a bit overwhelming at first.
