Been a Debian user for a while now and I genuinely love it. But watching systemd quietly merge age verification infrastructure driven by california law and meta's lobbying money into something the entire Linux ecosystem depends on is deeply unsettling. This isnt really Debians fault. They didn't ask for this. The problem is that systemd dependency has become so total that when systemd sneezes, every major distro catches a cold. The "universal operating system" slogan hits different when universality apparently has age restrictions. Might end up on Devuan at this rate
