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.

my mom and a bunch of other people

People who aren't very close to you are one thing, but wouldn't your mom of all people be wiling to install Signal or your preferred alternative?

My mom is 70 years old and can barely use her phone. It took many years to convince her to get a smartphone.
