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.

Yeah, i teached my dad (not interested in IT at all) what weird urls in E-Mails look like and he has less spam now. Still 500 unread mails in inbox though.
Can't get phished via email if you never open any emails.
Nah, that's a common thing for him. Should see his workshop a week after mother cleaned up.
