"Ageless Linux" is a distro created to openly defy California age-gating "law." (agelesslinux.org)

I love this sort of guerilla open source activism.

The whole "manifesto" style of the main webpage is extremely well done and makes a compelling argument, even if we don't choose this as our core distro.

I like that it also serves as a good page to send to even non-Linux folks, to explain why these dystopian cudgel laws must be resisted at every turn.

I'll admit, I expected a LOT more griftiness before opening your link buuuut...I dunno, it doesn't seem worse than other projects that make a specific little "custom distro machine."

I agree it's a really niche action but, I like to be optimistic and I like the idealism.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Someone else commented something about them being a "slop peddler" though, but haven't had a chance to look into that. (Obviously don't wanna support/ share slop peddling lol)
