Debian has not signaled compliance and current discussion on the mailing list seems to be against it.

NixOS does not plan to comply.

OpenBSD will not comply.

Gentoo devs don’t seem to believe it applies to them since they technically just provide a blueprint for you to build a system from source.

FreeBSD seems to be leaning against compliance.

System76 PopOS seems to be willing to comply with California but no states that require attestation like the NY bill.

Omarchy is aggressively noncompliant.

There will be many options.

I wish the widespread fervent hatred against the "user is over 18" checkbox was applied to, like, Cloudflare captchas, or something that actually matters.

    Cloudflare does not force FOSS devs to implement changes and accept potential legal liability, while opening the door to future legislative spec-by-fiat. There is a world of difference.

      yes... it did? If you're a FOSS browser developer, Cloudflare forced you to pass Cloudflare browser fingerprinting and implement enough JavaScript to pass the CAPTCHA. Which is much harder than an over-18 checkbox.
