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.

// sry for offtop but
Is everyone is fine with parental control nowadays? It was for paranoid parents only in my childhood and I didn't know anyone with parental control really.
The worst thing to me and my friends was hidden power supply cable if you did something really wrong.
My daughter has ADHD and if we don't limit her screen time she can literally spend the whole day sitting and watching Minecraft videos, and then later she gets very grumpy, so yeah while I absolutely hate having to do it, it's more for her own health than content exposure (not blocking websites and app installation other than by age recommendation).
If your goal is to interrupt her usage to avoid excessive usage, would a pomodoro timer help?

I dunno if that can be setup to force lock the screen or something, but maybe its helpful? Depends if its easy to override?
