TuxTyping es un juego educativo de aprendizaje de mecanografía protagonizado por Tux, el pingüino de Linux. El jugador guía a Tux para que coma el pescado que está cayendo desde lo alto de la pantalla. Cada pescado tiene una letra escrita en él. Cuando el jugador pulsa la tecla correspondiente, Tux se colocará él solo para comerse el pez. El juego está destinado a niños que están aprendiendo a escribir, aunque tiene niveles de más dificultad que incluso los mecanógrafos experimentados pueden encontrar desafiantes.
