Not sure, if I found the right project: https://agelesslinux.org/ But it seems this is a modification for Debian systems and I don't see a list of distributions complying or not Am I just blind or in the wrong spot? Edit: and to add, I'm not really sure what they're actually doing/going for I've skimmed through their page, but I'm not sure, if I really get it If Debian, Arch, etc can't/won't comply, why do I need their modification? And what's the plan with the small device running it? I'm currently a bit slow because of the flu and probably I'm just too dumb at the moment...

Their site is honestly not organized that well in the first place, tho they do cover the basics. [This list](https://agelesslinux.org/distros.html) shows which distros are complying, with which laws, and how. Might not be up to date (you'd need to target each relevant project's repos and issue trackers for that). In particular, it's missing the freedesktop org which has already assured and announced compliance with fascism (and is the hook systemd's compliance is serving to). [This list](https://agelesslinux.org/map.html) details the target laws (and their status, as some of them have been repelled or returned to evaluation), but IIRC it's also not up to date. By itself, Ageless Linux is ATM a series of patches. Currently for Debian but should in theory serve any distro once people put in the translation work on it. They also propose a (ATM theoretical) Example (Non-)Compliance Device to show in-person and at scale how ridiculous these laws are. It can serve multiple purposes, from mere demonstration (for conferences etc) to supply chain level enforcement of non-compliance.
