If you can feel a very small tinge of existential horror when you read the words “try to”, congratulations, you’re a true *nix devotee.

If legislators get grumpy about this, just gently thwap them with your handy copy of The Unix Haters Handbook and tell them you’re working as hard as you can under the circumstances.

      I am a teen and I use Linux

      My first PC ran Ubuntu, I think I was like 7 when I got it; now I use openSUSE

      the reason for this is that my dad is a tech guy, for a while he used FreeBSD on desktop (and still uses it on a VPS)

      My kids have used Linux from birth. One of them is voting age now. A Chromebook is Linux. They mostly just open steam.

      If you’re using Linux you’re already 99% smarter than the people making these stupid laws. At this point your age doesnt matter.

        That’s why these laws are completely delusional. Being a kid is one thing, but being a teenager is another thing. Laws like this disregard teenagers - and later on expect them to know everything at 18. What a stupid world.
