Remember all the ruckus with various US states introducing operating-system level age verification laws? Colorado and California thankfully exempt open source.

Yep, how is it even supposed to work with OSS? Can’t use those websites?

  Exactly. It’s optional… as long as ypu don’t plan on using internet.

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.
