From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

California is adding a requirement for age verification for operating systems (or something like that) so each one of these violates that law by booting into linux.
Except it's not age verification and as see n by the systemd fork over this, the people hyperventilating over adding an API are making less secure systems
It's not 'hyperventilation' it's obvious fascism
ooh! ooh! Can we restart the systemd wars??
yes please! We're using OpenRC on Debian right now, it's very nice. Way less annoying than systemd.

I'm probably okay if we just Fork systemd
Did the init war ever end? (I use shepherd btw)
