I do not want to support projects that willingly go out of their to follow corrupt laws.

    Cachy OS uses Limine by default.

    Pretty sure Fedora and Nobara both use grubby too.

    Edit - Actually just realised the age verification is happening inside systemd itself and not just the systemd bootloader. Ignore me, my answer is pointless

    I would probably go with Artix because it is arch based and therefore you will get updated packages instead of perpetually outdated Debian packages. Then maybe switch out the kernel for the CachyOS kernel and you should be good.

    Devuan can work, I have it on my Dell laptop with dual intel/nvidia gpu. Steam w/proton works.

    I would think most distros that use glibc should work, steam and pretty much all games don’t care about the init system. I personally use devuan and have had no issues.

      They added support for voluntarily entering your birth date in your user info and for applications to access it with your permission.

      (Next to the pre-existing fields for your full name, home address and e-mail address, which had never bothered anyone.)

        They did not. They added a birthdate field to userdb which has always and will always be an entirely optional database of user information like it can include your email address. It’s just a meaningless string of numbers, and if compliance is in someway forced? Forks will happen, and life will move on.

        There is no online verification system, there is no tiein, if apps choose to? Fork or rebuild, but that’s on the companies behind those apps. This is a nothing burger.

        No need to fearmonger.

          All it takes is one state demanding id verification after wifi setup to go along with the age field, to make sure the end user isn’t lying.

          Stop capitulating to the real threat.

          You’re not wrong, however, how can you possibly say that it will always be optional?

          These people are fundamentally polar opposite of the ethos of FOSS. The only reason they’re not yet actively doing everything they can to outlaw this stuff completely is because most of the people making laws still have no idea it exists.

          They want people to not own their own hardware, and at some point they will do everything they can to destroy Linux and FOSS. Mark my words.
