    I never said the objective was to learn Linux. The objective is to use it.

    Well you were replying to a comment of mine where the topic was teaching children linux.

    You can get terminal access on a smartphone.

    A child will never bother doing that.

    You can also run Linux apps on ChromeOS now. It leverages containers from my understanding, a technology baked into the modern Linux kernel.

    Yeah, I never said it couldn’t.

    No it’s not pedantic you are using a true scotsman fallacy.

    It’s not a true scotsman fallacy when neither chromeos nor android actively & openly advertise themselves as “Linux”. Yes, they are linux and that has been acknowledged, but not advertised.

      Is your bar seriously advertising? The mental gymnastics going on here is crazy. Yes it’s a true scotsman fallacy. It doesn’t matter if someone born in Scotland calls themselves Scottish or not, legally speaking they are still Scottish. That’s how that works.

      A child might not bother with the terminal on Linux Mint either. Does that mean Linux Mint isn’t a real Linux now?

      You also severely underestimate what children are capable of. I installed my first Linux distro, and taught myself HTML and CSS while still in primary school. I don’t think you have any idea what children can do. I could probably outclass most adults with technology when I was 16 or so.

        Um, I started using linux on my own when I was 9-10ish years old. I know perfectly what a child is capable of. But an average child will not do that.
