#vendefoulwolf

I have installed the LXQT version of Vendefoul Wolf Linux on a ThinkCentre Tiny M700. My first couple attempts to install were unsuccessful... but I now think that is due to me trying to use the "disk encryption" checkbox in the installer. After just about a half hour of getting used to it and making a few adjustments to the keyboard shortcuts and settings, I am quite happy with LXQT. It is quick and light and has most of core features that Cinnamon desktop has. https://vendefoul-wolf-linux.sourceforge.io/index_en.html #linux #lxqt #devuan #VendefoulWolf

This week's Linux and FOSS news: LINUX NEWS Vendefoul Wolf Linux (Devuan-based) rejects age verification: https://xcancel.com/vendefoulwolf/status/2035441292520386852#m (Never heard of this distro before, but it's always good to have some more options to go to, especially distros which reject most of the mainstream stuff which are more prone to age verification and other forms of corruption.) Qubes will do whatever upstream Fedora does (so likely comply): https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/10744#issuecomment-3997244349 CachyOS also refuses compliance: https://discuss.cachyos.org/t/age-verification-systemd/26316 Garuda Linux plans to "comply" in the least invasive way possible, only with some checkboxes: https://forum.garudalinux.org/t/a-statement-on-age-verification-the-state-of-the-community-discourse/47652 Parrot will only comply if legally forced to, it's implementation will be easy to bypass: https://parrotsec.org/blog/2026-04-02-our-statement-about-age-verification/ (I wonder what they mean under being forced. 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...) CuerdOS (Debian-based distro) rejects age verification: https://skyview.social/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fbsky.app%2Fprofile%2Fcuerdoslinux.bsky.social%2Fpost%2F3mikopwmbyk2r HyraxOS (Linux Mint-based distro) also refuses age verification: https://hyraxos.weebly.com/age.html Fluff Linux (Arch-based) also says no: https://xcancel.com/flufflinux/status/2033885428030575025#m And Athena OS (Arch and NixOS-based ethical hacking distro) too: https://github.com/BryanLunduke/DoesItAgeVerify/issues/42 Debian Is Figuring Out How Age Verification Laws Will Impact It: https://www.phoronix.com/news/Debian-Undecided-Age-Laws Freeport project aims to strip Linux packages from age verification: https://github.com/ryandward/freeport (more Linux and FOSS news in comments) #WeeklyNews #News #Linux #LinuxNews #AgeVerification #VendefoulWolf #Qubes #CachyOS #GarudaLinux #ParrotOS #OpenMandriva #CuerdOS #Hyrax #HyraxOS #FluffLinux #AthenaOS #Debian #Freeport #FosseryTech
