You've seen the news about various US states (and even a US-wide bill!) for operating systems to implement age checking - but exemptions could cause headaches.
but telling people interested in linux but still using windows/macos that most things they use also works on linux, as we have done for the past decade, only to have the corporate internet be inaccessible to them if the, end up doing a blanket ban on non-age-verified/verifiable devices.
unless of course you truly are a foss puritan and expect people to throw away every proprietary bit when switching to linux, in that case, lovely weather to die on hills
It seems you did not read the article. I don’t see anyone being on the side of these age verification laws. What they are saying is that the laws are bad for Linux and it’s users even if Linux was left out of the laws’ scope.
for us open source nerds, sure.

Thanks, I removed my comment because it made no sense in the context. Appreciate the pointer!
