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.

The law requires an operating system provider to provide the age.
Is systemd an OS provider? NO.
They didn't do it for the law. Especially since the law doesn't require to do it before next year.
well someone has to implement it somewhere on the stack. systemd seems like a good candidate ?
Why, because they throw everything in there like a jello salad?
do you have an alternative solution in mind?
