Not strictly Linux…
But after reading about SystemD I realised that TempleOS would fall under the laws but there’s no way in hell that’s getting updated. There’s gotta be some amazing way to troll the lawmakers with this.

Yeah, and I’d say it’s a bit questionable whether California even has jurisdiction over revelations from God himself.
Also, I don’t think it does networking and app stores 😄

there is a networking module in the Shrine fork. i think its internal name is “heretic” as it is against god’s will.

It’s a bit hard for him to comply. Why, you ask? Well, for starter, he’s dead.

SystemD is only adding the possibility to store an age for the user, and the PR is being debated still

Why would a glorified scheduling service need to store my birthday? Or age. Am I soon supposed to show/store my ID to all services running on my computer?

An equally valid question is why does a glorified scheduling service want to act as my UEFI boot manager?

The systemd service in question is probably already managing your accounts (if you’ve got systemd, that is)

I think the point people are making here is why does systemd need to store an age for the user.

Define “location data”.
Systemd stores location data for unit files, it does not store geo lookup data. Again, why does systemd need to store user age?
- 3 months
It can store your location data (i.e City/Address), because this service is specifically a user database. The systemd init isn’t storing your age anytime son.

Trojan horse, so to speak.
Preemtive capitulation is a loss for everyone but the fascists.

Ah yes, systemd is gonna lose so many sales over this, they’re gonna have to lower their monthly subscription price from $0.00 to a measly $0.00

There are a lot of Linux distros. Capitulation to age verification is a good way to know that a distro is compromised generally. Now I need to figure out how not to use systemd.

If you have some Linux experience, you could try something like void linux , alpine or gentoo. Sadly, systemd is entrenched so deeply on most distros that removing it would be painful.
There is also devuan (debian without systemd) but I can’t recommend it.

TempleOS would fall under the laws
So would DOS and Windows 95, but those haven’t had any updates in a couple years. Surely they’ll be updated to comply.

FreeDOS’ latest version is from 2025. Guess they would be required to comply. They don’t even have user accounts…

I’m still super impressed by homie doing this all on his own. Rest in power homie, wish you sought out professional help.
this new anti-systemd sentiment reminds me of anti-TPM and anti-SecureBoot sentiment
having TPMs and SecureBoot on Linux machines has only ever empowered device owners to ensure that the software on their devices has not been tampered with
there’s never been a case where these technologies were used against Linux device owners
likewise, I predict that Linux device owners may find the age field useful for certain opt-in parental controls, but we’ll otherwise look back on this and shrug at the extreme paranoia
