  • Portugal used to have a distro called Caixa Mágica (Magic Box), that was mainly used for kids in school, usually in dual boot with Windows. This used to be the way kids would have access to the Linux ecosystem for the first time.

    Also some government branches also used it as alternative to Windows, I believe.

    But since Caixa Mágica was a government venture, they made it proprietary, so it’s not widely available to download.

    Also, I have no idea if this distro still receives any updates and improvements.

    Some bit of history, certainly.
