This week's Linux and FOSS news: LINUX NEWS Vendefoul Wolf Linux (Devuan-based) rejects age verification: https://xcancel.com/vendefoulwolf/status/2035441292520386852#m (Never heard of this distro before, but it's always good to have some more options to go to, especially distros which reject most of the mainstream stuff which are more prone to age verification and other forms of corruption.) Qubes will do whatever upstream Fedora does (so likely comply): https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/10744#issuecomment-3997244349 CachyOS also refuses compliance: https://discuss.cachyos.org/t/age-verification-systemd/26316 Garuda Linux plans to "comply" in the least invasive way possible, only with some checkboxes: https://forum.garudalinux.org/t/a-statement-on-age-verification-the-state-of-the-community-discourse/47652 Parrot will only comply if legally forced to, it's implementation will be easy to bypass: https://parrotsec.org/blog/2026-04-02-our-statement-about-age-verification/ (I wonder what they mean under being forced. When they receive an email from the authorities, or what? 🤔) OpenMandriva won't implement age verification, but won't remove it from Systemd, stating it can be useful for other things: https://forum.openmandriva.org/t/systemd-adds-age-verification-are-you-serious/8793/75?u=xseagdc (The comment right below describes pretty well, what the problem is with this...) CuerdOS (Debian-based distro) rejects age verification: https://skyview.social/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fbsky.app%2Fprofile%2Fcuerdoslinux.bsky.social%2Fpost%2F3mikopwmbyk2r HyraxOS (Linux Mint-based distro) also refuses age verification: https://hyraxos.weebly.com/age.html Fluff Linux (Arch-based) also says no: https://xcancel.com/flufflinux/status/2033885428030575025#m And Athena OS (Arch and NixOS-based ethical hacking distro) too: https://github.com/BryanLunduke/DoesItAgeVerify/issues/42 Debian Is Figuring Out How Age Verification Laws Will Impact It: https://www.phoronix.com/news/Debian-Undecided-Age-Laws Freeport project aims to strip Linux packages from age verification: https://github.com/ryandward/freeport (more Linux and FOSS news in comments) #WeeklyNews #News #Linux #LinuxNews #AgeVerification #VendefoulWolf #Qubes #CachyOS #GarudaLinux #ParrotOS #OpenMandriva #CuerdOS #Hyrax #HyraxOS #FluffLinux #AthenaOS #Debian #Freeport #FosseryTech

One of the nice things with Garuda Mokka is you get some ricing, applications, tools etc. ootb. But all can be adjusted, turned off or even deinstalled quite easily. Everything has been added as separate packages, not meta packages. Which means I can deinstall KDE Connect separately, without any complaints about Plasma Meta being broken. That's great 👍🏻. #GarudaLinux

The Garuda Mokka spin is a customized version of KDE, using the Catppuccin color palette. Beautiful and of course all goodies that can be expected, like Snapper btrfs snapshots etc. Noice. #garudaLinux
