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.

Artix is patching many packages anyway, so one more package patched to remove age stuff or add a dummy interface that always returns 18+ won't be too difficult.
Good, Maybe a list of "Pirate Distros" would help people.
Kinda crazy how downloading Linux isos might actually become illegal.
What a fucking clown world we live in.
