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.

Exactly. I don't personally have kids so I also feel especially out of line telling someone else how to raise theirs. Parenting isn't easy, and there's tough questions like "How do I get my child to learn good habits around screen time so they don't end up addicted to devices built for addiction?" Honestly, I personally don't know a better way other than loosely (not strictly) limiting screen time enough so that they naturally learn good habits over time, and that unfortunately means you need to monitor screen time. As an adult I noticed a lot of my good habits were things my parents instilled in me in my youth that I hadn't really thought about, like drinking a lot of water, for one. They didn't prevent me from drinking soda at all, but they limited my intake at home and made sure when I was home I was drinking lots of water and not just juice or soda, they didn't try to control me outside of the house when I was making my own decisions... and now I drink water a lot because it just feels normal. It's a habit they got me into, and because it became a habit I'm left with a good habit in my adulthood. I don't see how it would be any different in getting a kid to respect screen time as an adult.
God... I wish my parents had done more to monitor my screen time because I'm bad at this shit.
Yeah I guess you're right and that depends on the child and their parents themselves.
My parents weren't limiting my time in any way and that helped me to become software engineer actually so to me it turned out to be a good thing. If I did have my screen time limited I would totally spend it on computer.games and not CS. I'm sure about it because I spent a lot of time playing too haha
