Is Teaching Linux instead of Windows to kids in school is a viable option?

I was taught in school using Windows and also told that it was a OS and not a kernel. And I think whenever a school teaches using something that's paid that is a bad idea cause it makes a bad monopoly. Teaching linux to kids is a viable option for them to learn computers as they don't have any baggage learning of windows and they would understand much better don't you think.

And I know kids will type shit like "rm -rf /" if you don't know it removes everything from your computer, then simply don't give them the sudo password. I want to know what do you think?
