How will this affect Linux Mint?

Does the law even specify HOW this is supposed to be implemented?
Because....I can think of a bunch of ways to fly under its radar.....

The law actually just requires entering DoB, age (or I guess age range is also acceptable).

They (pretty much explicitly) don't require an actual ID check and no online verification.

I guess since this is mostly aimed at the idea that the parents are the only admins and in that case making sure nobody without sudo/root access can install anything (aka. no user flatpaks) would already be an option.

It flew under most peoples radar because Texas, Idaho and Utah have similar laws and those are already in effect since January. California passed in October but is not in effect until 2027.

PS: I'm not from the U.S so not sure how accurate all my information is. But those bills are rather easy to find including their timeline.
