California law to require operating systems to check your age

The time of age assurance is upon us, and not just for social media - for operating systems too and that includes Linux as well of course.

    [×] Yes I'm old enough to be able to boot up a computer with custom install media and walk through an install wizard

    The distros will probably just add a statement to not use it in California, at least not for personl use idk.

    Once an open source software for it is available, it would be easy to deploy via package management. Its a stupid law tho. Age checks are not a replacement for proper parenting, which makes them obsolete.
