And thankfully, it’s more than just a Linux distro without age verification.
I would like a package you could easily install on any distro that patches age verification out of the system. I’m not switching distros (yet) for this, as much as I also am not on board with the concept of OS-level compliance with mass control and censorship.
A lot of distros (most I’ve used at least) require user creation before installing. The age verification should be there as my understanding of the text. You can’t install the packages before, so this will be effective only for existing installs, unless you patch the install disk prior.
That’s a really good point. At that point, we’re just talking about a voluntary answer, right? I’m more concerned about the API exposed to the world, so patching that away was what I was thinking.
That’s what this actually is, it’s just a batch script that changes your etc/os-release to ageless Linux, and adds a noncomplience statement
I’m sure someone will come up with that. Also, I think it’s important that we make clear to the devs of our favourite distros that we’re going to ditch their distros if they don’t take a stance.
