Kinda a rant, but most forks are in no way reputable. Fork systemd as much as you want, fork everything as much as you want, good luck keeping up with the changes and actually being as reliable.
- X spin applies for any distro providing spins, like Debian, void, arch install, etc
Ageless Linux is important because they’re doing activism. They say they want to distribute devices made to not follow Californian law for free to kids. That’s why it’s important, not just because it’s a distro. As a distro is near to useless.
I know this is mostly a meme, but I think it’s important to clarify this.
Their hardware guide is gonna be awesome. I’m making myself one when it drops and I’ma see what you can all run on it. Minimalist cheap computers are a bulwark against tyranny
“They’re doing activism.”
Holy lolling fuck. That’s activism now.
Is it not? They’re opening themselves up to a lawsuit so they can argue against it in court.
And they’re also giving away stuff for free to kids to learn computing

I’m still running the last release of Hannah Montana Linux. Just waiting for something better to come out.
You can buy yourself flowers, write your name in the sand, talk to yourself for hours, say things we don’t understand, you can take yourself dancing and you can hold your own hand…
But you can’t roll your own linux distro?

You can, but it wouldn’t be better than Hannah Montana Linux.
Man, when it first released it came in like a wrecking ball.
Are we going to acknowledge the irony of ranting against forking to protect freedoms on a platform formed as an alternative to protect freedoms?
Good try California government
I’m shocked to see so many magats on Lemmy
A what, where
Anyone downplaying privacy.

“The world doesn’t revolve around California”
True, but OS level age verification is a politically conservative talking point. It was pushed by Meta.
Age verification is the responsibility of the PROVIDER (the one who needs to age check) and not on the OS level.
There seems to be a sharp divide between people who hold opposing views, and the right wing is largely behind OS level user identification. Today it’s birth date, tomorrow it’s birth gender.
None of this belongs at the OS level
OP probably attends middle school recitals just to boo and tell everyone they’re wasting their time.
Imagine forking systemd instead of just using a better alternative
When a lot of the programs revolve around it, there really isn’t a better alternative.
