LINUX NEWS

Manjaro lead dev plans to implement age verification, other team members don't:
https://forum.manjaro.org/t/will-manjaro-implement-age-verification/186816

Solus says they don't have plans to implement anything, but aren't sure if the laws affect them, they are monitoring the situation:

Vipnix (a Gentoo > Funtoo > Macaroni-based, Systemd-free distro) rejects implementing age verification, excludes Brazil (their own country!) and California:
https://vipnix.com.br/site/livecd-vipnix/
https://github.com/BryanLunduke/DoesItAgeVerify/pull/73
