alt Hacker News> making sure you're using an unmodified government approved operating system
Will be interesting to see if this leads to more Linux systems being deployed. Then again with systemd supporting age sniffing (https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/40954), evading this becomes harder and harder.

Why would it? Such a government would just... not approve Linux, if it interfered with their objectives.

Systemd changes don’t make it harder, you control the damn OS at the source code level if you choose.

Evading what exactly? If the age verification is a flag sent by the OS and you are the OS administrator, you can do whatever you want.
