Tux Typing

What Tux Typing is

Tux Typing is a free typing tutor game starring Tux, the Linux penguin, for Linux, macOS, and Windows. It gives children practice through games and keyboard exercises: in Fish Cascade, players type letters on falling fish to help Tux catch them, while Comet Zap asks them to type letters on comets so Tux can destroy them with a laser. The default theme includes finger exercises that introduce keyboard keys progressively. Phrase Typing is designed for practice with phrases or full sentences and measures typing speed and accuracy, but the maker says this and Lessons are not yet completed features. Users can add and modify custom word lists; the README describes the editor as beta. Tux4Kids presents its software for children, parents, and teachers, for use at home or on school computers. The program is free software distributed under the GNU General Public License. Tux4Kids says its open-source programs can be extended or customized, and its programs have been translated into dozens of languages. The group invites translation contributions and says its programs have volunteer developer communities. The Free plan is free.
