lol no it won't. what are they gonna do, go around the world knocking on doors asking open source devs to include age verification in their Linux distros? the law is completely unenforceable.

It isn't enforceable on the personal level, but every commercial distro will need an implementation (and let's be honest, they will each create their own) to sell pre-installed or to offer service for public and private device fleets.

Meh, adding an age question to adduser wouldn't be that bad, we could even replace the current room number question
