God why is it so hard to keep the government out of your tech. System-d is introducing age verification, making a ton of Linux distros comply with authoritarian age verification laws.
But I hear you say, @fangsroyale that’s just to save the children yadayada.
No it is not, no government introducing these kind of draconian laws is caring about kids or many more pdf’s in the Epstein files would have been arrested.
While it seems harmless at first, this is just the first step to a future where even with Linux you’re gonna need to verify with your id card before using your computer. Linking everything you do or search to you, making you a honeypot target for hackers and meaning the end of anonymity or privacy.
I had just gotten used to using Fedora KDE, now im going to have to switch to a project that does have a spine. Thinking of using void Linux or Devuan.
You shouldn’t have to be a tech expert to have basic human privacy but it appears I have to.
Can we please stop being mad at open source project for trying to protect themselves from the legal ramifications of shitty regulations, while still providing their products to the broadest audience possible? "XYZ project is adding age verification! They're clearly evil, and you should abandon them completely!" No they aren't! No you shouldn't! It's not their fault!
Oh my god`! An organization is adhering to the law to protect themselves from legal ramifications that, for some of them, could be their undoing. How tragic, and evil of them`!
Direct your anger appropriately, and start being mad at the lawmakers, and the corporations pushing them to create such awful legislation. Being mad at various projects for complying, helps no one! They're doing they're best to deal with the awful situation they've been presented with, and don't deserve your vitriol for it.
wait m hearing stuff abt systemd having age verification stuff being added to it is that like fr cuz i havent been updating my system lately cuz of this stuff
Since SystemD has some age verification bullshit (Source), which distro do you prefer without one, from Arch perspective? Both distros below have its own easy installer btw.
Vote here
Void Linux
Artix Linux

Another day another horror
So on musl, getent does not exist. Systemd however wants getent to verify it is installing a system with a uid table not inherently broken together with systemd. Its also used somewhere within nspawn, i am not super familiar with that yet. So far so good.
Well, and then nixpkgs comes along and makes it cursed. As it turns out, netbsd has its own getent implementation. nixpkgs uses the netbsd getent and passes that to systemd, and systemd is happy. Yes, nixpkgs is using core netbsd packages on linux to satisfy systemd requirements.
Now you might wonder how fragile this may be. Surprisingly, not very! If the stars align, that is - somehow the netbsd getent depends on ssp/ssp.h, which on nix is only provided as part of the experimental gcc 15 introduction. This would be fine if gcc 15 were not completely broken on nix musl.
Now you may wonder, why is gcc 15 on musl broken? Don't other distros use gcc 15 on musl? Well, yes! But! Nix has patches to make gcc work correctly with things like the nix store and nix' idea of cross compilation. Those patches were written without considering musl. That means those patches are missing `#include <libgen.h>`.
Ladies and Gentlethems, welcome to the world of software packaging and C programming!
Systemd devs are trying to eat the whole meal in 1 bite knowing damn well they're biting off more than they can chew. They might as well release a custom Linux kernel. A custom distro, even, with their custom Linux kernel and their custom coreutils and sd-boot
