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.

you're probably making them feel like Linux is second class. kids are smart and they'll know that elementaryOS isn't macos. All they'll think is that they got the "cheap version" or something
Nah, they actually are pretty happy with it. If they want a MacOS, they can save up a buy it. Good for now.
Cool kids run Red Star OS
It's macbooks so they would be able to run real macos. Since you still chose to install something else, it must mean that this is somehow superior.
Lol no. To all their friends they’ll say: ”yeah I know it’s not legit, it’s some weird thing dad hacked there for some reason. I want to have a real one but he won’t install it idk”
Yup exactly. The better way is to show off what Linux can do like all the ricing stuff (legitimately just do it the same way PewDiePie did in his video). Trickery never works long term on kids.
