well, that’s great until systemd implements age verification 🙃
(we use openrc on our Debian, you might not have to switch distros depending on which distro you pick, but don’t install a totally different init system right out of the gate when you’re new, it’s a pain to set up (but fine once set up))
(for context: systemd just implemented a field to store birth dates in. Sure, it’s optional… for NOW… but considering how fast they rushed to implement it, they’ll probably rush to implement whatever surveillance crap any given government comes up with, too. And if we all let systemd get even more deeply entrenched…)
I’m surprised at the concerns about systemd adding this field, for most users that install their own systems, they’re usually the admin, so have total control over what that field will hold for any user. 1/1/1970? Who cares?
Or just install linux. Preferably one that doesn’t use systemd.
Install any distro and ignore the systemd/wayland/x11 debates
