Kinda a rant, but most forks are in no way reputable. Fork systemd as much as you want, fork everything as much as you want, good luck keeping up with the changes and actually being as reliable.

  1. X spin applies for any distro providing spins, like Debian, void, arch install, etc

I'm still running the last release of Hannah Montana Linux. Just waiting for something better to come out.

    You can buy yourself flowers, write your name in the sand, talk to yourself for hours, say things we don't understand, you can take yourself dancing and you can hold your own hand...

    But you can't roll your own linux distro?

    Its literally a bash script. Dont know how hard that is to maintain at that scale but my guess is not that hard for now

    Like I said, why does it have to exist then?

    To distribute at scale? Whats easier? Everyone making their own bash script for this or one extremely pissed of guy making his available for everyone? I truly don't understand your rant or hate unless you love corporations pushing age verification onto open source hobbyists to kill them. I read that entire site at Ageless Linux and left with a rock hard erection and hatred. It inspired me. So sorry if you don't feel the same way but Ageless Linux is awesome actually because it lays the emperor bare and naked in every conceivable way.

    Either you increase your attack vector by running a bash script and risk breaking your entire repo by changing your $release or youre a dicksucking corpo

    Anything else? Or do I have to continue?

    because it lays the emperor bare and naked

    In what way? Please, seriously, tell me. If I change my $release to this, does my distro maintainer suddently stop implementing any age stuff? Because honestly I don't think this is how FOSS works. If you don't like it, fork it and maintain it.

    Honestly this is just as much a protest as the clippy profile pictures. You can say you did something, but you were just as complacant as those embracing it.

    You clearly never even read the site. Gow about you, educate yourself agelesslinux.org

    I encourage you to read it and sse what they are doing. Its too.much for me to explain here but in short the bash script.stubs or removes APIs for age verification. They are then handing these out to children as defined by thenlaw as soon as it goes into effect.

    Are we going to acknowledge the irony of ranting against forking to protect freedoms on a platform formed as an alternative to protect freedoms?

    Ageless Linux is important because they're doing activism. They say they want to distribute devices made to not follow Californian law for free to kids. That's why it's important, not just because it's a distro. As a distro is near to useless.

    I know this is mostly a meme, but I think it's important to clarify this.

    Is it not? They're opening themselves up to a lawsuit so they can argue against it in court.

    Imagine forking systemd instead of just using a better alternative

    True, but OS level age verification is a politically conservative talking point. It was pushed by Meta.

    Age verification is the responsibility of the PROVIDER (the one who needs to age check) and not on the OS level.

    There seems to be a sharp divide between people who hold opposing views, and the right wing is largely behind OS level user identification. Today it’s birth date, tomorrow it’s birth gender.

    None of this belongs at the OS level
