From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Germany has a similar law already active

§12 Jugendmedienschutzstaatsvertrag

(1) Anbieter von Betriebssystemen, die von Kindern und Jugendlichen üblicherweise genutzt werden im Sinne des § 16 Abs. 1 Satz 3 Nr. 6, stellen sicher, dass ihre Betriebssysteme über eine den nachfolgenden Absätzen entsprechende Jugendschutzvorrichtung verfügen. Passt ein Dritter die vom Anbieter des Betriebssystems bereitgestellte Jugendschutzvorrichtung an, besteht die Pflicht aus Satz 1 insoweit bei diesem Dritten. (3) In der Jugendschutzvorrichtung muss eine Altersangabe eingestellt werden können

But yes, neither such laws nor the implementation into systemd is in any way positive and should be fought

Jugendmedienschutzstaatsvertrag

Is that a single word? O_O

Kinda. In Germany, we put many words together, to form a new word.

Jugend = youth Medien = media Schutz = protection Staat = State Vertrag = contract

Thanks for the clarification ! And how do you know which word you can put together? Sorry if this question is kinda hard to answer :/ don't if it's to long and needs some complicated grammar or something like that, i'm genuinely curious !
