Huayra is a Linux distribution developed by the Argentine government. It’s based on the Debian architecture.
Huayra has many educational resources and apps included, allowing you to use it both at school and for any other activity. It has applications for office work, social media management, multimedia players, a calendar, notifications, internet, and guaranteed compatibility with movie and music streaming services.
Huayra has everything you’re familiar with from a desktop-based work environment: icons, windows, folders, menus with thematically separated applications, a “trash” for discarding files you no longer need, and so on.

What's a Linux distribution ("distro")? |
| A distro provides the user with a desktop environment, preloaded applications, and ways to update and maintain the system. Each distro makes different choices, deciding which open source projects to install and provides custom written programs. They can have different philosophies. Some distros are intended for desktop computers, some for servers without a graphical interface, and others for special uses. Because Linux is an open source operating system, combinations of software vary between Linux distros. |
