Also, I think it's important that we make clear to the devs of our favourite distros that we're going to ditch their distros if they don't take a stance. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Railcar8095@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago (1 child) A lot of distros (most I've used at least) require user creation before installing. The age verification should be there as my understanding of the text. You can't install the packages before, so this will be effective only for existing installs, unless you patch the install disk prior. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment load more comments (1 reply)
