Linux and open source getting age checking exemptions could be problematic
Exemptions for age-checking laws in operating systems could create significant problems for Linux and open-source software. While intended to protect users, these laws may lead to services and applications blocking Linux users entirely due to implementation hurdles and the fragmented nature of the Linux desktop. This adds to existing issues like DRM and anti-cheat compatibility, potentially hindering user adoption.
