TuxTyping — игра, обучающая машинописи. В главной роли — Тукс, пингвин, являющийся символом Linux. Игрок помогает Туксу есть рыбу, падающую из верхней части экрана. На каждой рыбе написана буква. Когда игрок нажимает соответствующую клавишу, Тукс перемещается, чтобы съесть рыбу. Игра рассчитана на детей, обучающихся использованию клавиатуры, однако она содержит сложные уровни, которые будут трудны даже для опытных пользователей.
