DistroWatchMar 26
With some distribution projects starting to adapt age verification code, I wonder if people are now starting to realize why immutable filesystems are such a concern? Once a distro bakes user tracking code into the core image it's harder to get rid of it when dealing with an immutable operating system. With a writable filesystem the component can just be swapped out or recompiled.

ℹ️ Now DistroWatch will need to include a new item on the distro description page:

• Age verification: yes / no

#DistroWatch #AgeVerification #linux #bsd

@wilfredo @distrowatch If we are open to adding new search fields at distrowatch...

userland and libc type could be useful.

@RootMoose @wilfredo This is probably too broad to make a search field since several distributions include mixtures and/or multiple options.

For something like this you'd probably have a better time using the package search field to find a specific item, such as glibc or gcc or busybox rather than trying to group distros under an umbrella like userland or libc.
