Will be interesting to see if this leads to more Linux systems being deployed. Then again with systemd supporting age sniffing (https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/40954 https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/40954), evading this becomes harder and harder.
- zahlman 3mo agoWhy would it? Such a government would just... not approve Linux, if it interfered with their objectives.
- darkwater 3mo agoEvading what exactly? If the age verification is a flag sent by the OS and you are the OS administrator, you can do whatever you want.
- LtWorf 3mo agoSure, but your device won't be able to connect to anything useful.
- Klonoar 3mo agoSystemd changes don’t make it harder, you control the damn OS at the source code level if you choose.
- M95D 3mo agoTheoretically, yes, but Gentoo with all their resources couldn't keep even eudev alive. How much free time does one person need to maintain a fork of the entire systemd?
