Doesn’t care if its devices can’t be sold in regions that require ID verification.

    Linux Distros (so far) Refusing Age Verification

    EDIT
    I recommend going to Ageless Linux’s site and reading up on their take on the whole issue. They clearly illustrate how poorly thought out the California law is.

      I think this might be the first and only time I’ll ever see Omarchy getting upvotes on this site.

      If a child uses your computer, you are required by § 1798.501(a)(1) to provide “an accessible interface at account setup” that collects their age. The adduser command does not ask for your age. We recommend not thinking about this.
