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 gf likes to click on ad entries of Google searches - that doesn't work
If you are able to (and allowed), install an AdBlocker (e.g. uBlock Origin) to reduce the friction for such cases. In my experience these ads are rarely click-worthy.
That's a feature, not a bug.
I know and I tell her that, too - it's just something to consider when calculating the wife approval factor
Well, tell her that these ads can and often do contain malware, and as of recent have become even better at faking the real URL of a supposed service.
One of the few times I agree with this statement lol.
