This week's Linux and FOSS news: LINUX NEWS Ubuntu, Fedora, Linux Mint Eye Age Verification Amid California Law Backlash: https://9to5linux.com/ubuntu-fedora-linux-mint-eye-age-verification-amid-california-law-backlash (Seems like a new era has begun, even Linux isn't fully immune to the invasion of digital freedom, but we're fine for the most part, we can just lie about our age because we aren't required to provide photo ID or selfie unlike on some of the normie platforms. And even if another law comes out requiring Linux too to ask for a personal id, they can't do much to actually enforce it on the thousands of volunteers) (Flathub and Snap Store having to comply is a much bigger deal though, since those are corporate entities (or at least it's planned to become one in case of Flathub, I wonder if they still stick to their plans after all of this), they might actually be forced, to query age brackets from the OS for now, but pretty likely to ask for photo ID or selfie in the future when the other age verification laws currently pending (Texas, New York, Brazil, Canada, etc.) will be accepted. Of course, it can also be circumvented by using the repos of a distro which doesn't comply, download app binaries from source code repo Releases page, compiling from source (at least from repos hosted on Codeberg, GitHub/Microsoft might comply), downloading from AppImageHub (which is community-maintained afaik) etc., but it still sucks to lose two of the largest software repos (even if I'm not a fan of Snap Store and Snap in general for "ideological" reasons)) Linux Mint shows off its new lock screen/screensaver: https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2026/03/linux-mint-cinnamon-lock-screen-screensaver Arch Linux Releases March 2026 ISO: https://debugpointnews.com/arch-linux-iso-refresh-march-2026/ AerynOS update boosts atomic update speed and adds WiFi-friendly installs: https://alternativeto.net/news/2026/3/aerynos-update-boosts-atomic-update-speed-and-adds-wifi-friendly-installs/ Say goodbye to Microsoft Windows 11 and hello to Nitrux Linux 6: https://betanews.com/article/say-goodbye-to-microsoft-windows-11-and-hello-to-nitrux-linux-6/ Bazzite gets a big update with KDE Plasma 6.6, Mesa 26.0.1 and more: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2026/03/bazzite-gets-a-big-update-with-kde-plasma-6-6-mesa-26-0-1-and-more/ (more Linux and FOSS news in comments) #WeeklyNews #News #Linux #LinuxNews #AgeVerification #LinuxMint #FosseryTech

Idk if I would personally trust them though, because they include some Google and Cloudflare stuff in their website, but their stance is respectable regardless) Mobian will do whatever upstream Debian does: https://social.linux.pizza/@fosserytech/116370129667947301 I made an age attestation/verification tracker to track which FOSS OSes (Linux, BSD, others) comply with the laws, which oppose: https://odysee.com/@fossery-tech:4/Linux-BSD-age-attestation-verification-tracker:7 Debian's APT 3.2 Released with History, Undo, Redo, and Rollback Support: https://9to5linux.com/debians-apt-3-2-released-with-history-undo-redo-and-rollback-support You can now enable Ubuntu Pro from the OS setup tool: https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2026/04/ubuntu-pro-initial-setup-tool Bazzite Linux gets some major upgrades for the April 2026 Update: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2026/04/bazzite-linux-gets-some-major-upgrades-for-the-april-2026-update/ Trisquel GNU/Linux 12.0 LTS Released with GNU Linux-Libre 6.8 Kernel, MATE 1.26: https://9to5linux.com/trisquel-gnu-linux-12-0-lts-released-with-gnu-linux-libre-6-8-kernel-mate-1-26 Deepin 25.1 launches with Linux 6.18, UOS AI upgrades, and new immutable system features: https://alternativeto.net/news/2026/4/deepin-25-1-launches-with-linux-6-18-uos-ai-upgrades-and-new-immutable-system-features/ TrueNAS 26 Beta Brings Linux 6.18 LTS + OpenZFS 2.4 Combination For NAS Devices: https://www.phoronix.com/news/TrueNAS-26-Beta GParted Live 1.8.1-3 Released with Linux Kernel 6.19.10 and GParted 1.8.1: https://9to5linux.com/gparted-live-1-8-1-3-released-with-linux-kernel-6-19-10-and-gparted-1-8-1 (more Linux and FOSS news in comments) #WeeklyNews #News #Linux #LinuxNews #AgeVerification #Manjaro #Solus #Vipnix #Mobian #AgeAttestation #Debian #APT #Ubuntu #Bazzite #Trisquel #TrisquelGNUlinux #Deepin #TrueNAS #TrueNAS26 #GParted #GPartedLive #NAS #LinuxDistro #DistroRelease #FosseryTech

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...)

This week's Linux and FOSS news: LINUX NEWS elementaryOS dev announces to comply with California law to avoid fines: https://mastodon.online/@danirabbit/116250765623660340 (I mean, losing a source of income is a valid concern on her part, but it doesn't justify that she risks the privacy of the users. Even though she says in a reply that asking for ID is different, I wouldn't be so sure at this point that she won't consider implementing that too, just to stay in business.) Fedora Project Leader Suggests Linux Distros Could Adopt Apple's Age Verification API: https://itsfoss.com/news/fedora-leader-suggests-age-verification-api/ (Adopting a big tech corp's API? What the hell did he smoke? It's even worse than the Systemd stuff. I already had some trust issues with Fedora, but now it becomes pretty obvious, that they shouldn't be trusted) Devuan rejects compliance: https://xcancel.com/jaromil/status/2034694340249821329 (Now this is great to see. I'm considering getting away from Systemd due to their attitude to comply, Devuan is the primary distro I consider, because it would let me keep the Debian base but get rid of Systemd at the same time.) Slackware also rejects compliance: https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/how-is-ab-1043-going-to-impact-slackware-4175762747/page15.html#post6626190 (3 Systemd-free distros not complying at this point, there are quite a few distros to go to.) And ZorinOS too: https://forum.zorin.com/t/statement-about-age-verification-laws/61052 (A really good summary of this whole age nonsense, a worthy read) Kicksecure/Whonix changes plan, "unlikely" to comply, after user backlash: https://www.kicksecure.com/wiki/Age-api#status Inside the Systemd Age Verification Debate: Developer Responds to Criticism: https://itsfoss.com/dylan-taylor-systemd-controversy/ (I think he isn't the one to blame here, but rather the Systemd project. If he didn't do it, someone else would do it. That's what we get from a corporate-backed project I guess. Harrassing him won't do anything, it's just naive, childish behavior.) Someone Forked Systemd to Strip Out Its Age Verification Support: https://itsfoss.com/news/systemd-fork-strips-out-age-verification/ (more Linux and FOSS news in comments) #WeeklyNews #News #Linux #LinuxNews #AgeVerification #elementaryOS #Fedora #Devuan #Slackware #ZorinOS #Kicksecure #Whonix #Systemd #FosseryTech

(more Linux news in previous posts) Linux 7.1 Will Power Off The System By Default If A Fatal ACPI Error Occurs: https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-7.1-ACPI-Error-Power-Off (Why the heck is that necessary? I get ACPI error all the time when booting up the system, but it works just fine. Does it make any hardware damage or something? Or is it just a nonsensical standard? Idk tbh, I'm not a hardware guy.)
