With the upcoming age verification laws being a topic of uncertainty, I'm curious if there's a list of Linux distributions that are stating whether they will comply or not. If my current distribution decides to adopt these laws, I want to explore my options now rather than wait until the last minute.

If the distro is managed by a for-profit entity, like Ubuntu which is backed by Canonical, they're likely to comply with the laws. On the other hand, there are distros that might refuse to adopt these laws. From what I've seen, Ubuntu, Fedora, and OpenSUSE are leaning toward compliance.
A quick tip: you might want to set Google alerts for any news on distros planning to comply with these laws. It could help you stay ahead!
For a deeper understanding, check out the specifics of the California bill. It states that operating systems must provide an interface for users to indicate their birth date or age. It's interesting because it places the responsibility on parents to decide the age, rather than a government-enforced verification.
Hey, just a heads-up that there are still a few years until these laws are fully implemented. No need to panic just yet! But if you want to stay informed, it's good to start looking into this now.
