What you want was very performant and easy doable with X11 (by its nature as a client/server architecture), but not with wayland. The additional Software layers on top of wayland will destroy performance and introduce all kind of issues.

Thats the price we have to pay for the shiny new things

The landlord has valid rights too, fighting policeman is definitively the wrong solution to this problem. The proper way would be in implementing a wellfare system that helps this (mostly old/sick) people when they can’t pay their bills. Fighting policemen for evicted people would be like only putting a bandaid over a punctured arthery. It may help for a, very short, time but in the end leads to nowhere.

But this is a tangent and topic that is very interessting to discuss but i fear is way to offtopic for this place

I would fight the law itself, not single persons.

So you say that opinion and subjective classification of good or bad is the only valid measurement?

That is the issue with double standard, everyone has their own subjective viewpoint of good or bad, of morality, of which laws to ignore and which to follow. And a lot of really bad things are done all the time in the name of good and moral reasons!

Why make any law at all if only personal, subjectiv morallity matters?

I can’t wait for the first videos from people who turned that Ai slime into an mysognostic, racist, pile of blue shit!

When the Ai companys acted after this maxime, ignore laws until getting sued, there was a huge outrage but here everyone wants the same from open source companies and developers.

It seems that double Standards are fine after all.

Governor Gavin Newsom signed the California Digital Age Assurance Act (AB 1043) into law on October 13, 2025.

It is a valid law, it only has a postponed start date of January 2027 to give everyone time to get their Systems ready.

In advance of what? The law is already enacted, and the time until it gets active is exactly there for preparation and development.

It would be in advance if he had done it when the law was still in the plan phase, but that is way done.

It is not complying in advance, it is beeing prepared for when the law becomes active and binding.

This can happen when gquotas are enabled, thats why gquotas are not recommended with snapshots

as far as I read the law, but i am neither a lawyer or even american, are those Option only needed for Systems with users and a user, as defined by the same law, is

(i) “User” means a child that is the primary user of the device.

The law says nothing about Systems that don’t have such a “user”, or at least i could not find anything.

So, there could be a valid argument that the law does differentiate.

• Providing courses for kids to learn linux? Not longer possible
• Providing older, but still perfectly fine running, Computers with Linux to low incoming or otherwise in need families? You are now a criminal!

Systems have to be ready and in place when the law becomes bindig and active, it is to late to beginn with the work then.

Because it is not only one dumb state but also multiple countries with such laws, either already active or as plans.

They will not ban it on Servers or for Corporate use, but ban it in youth Centers, in schools, in public libraries, and everywhere else where kids could have access to Computers. This will create another generation of people who only know close source Systems, most likely from Microsoft, who will have no issues with making their Systems compliant to the bindig laws.

I like to create partitions with specific max sizes, you can’t do that with btrfs subvolumes unfortunately. It is possible to set a quota but that can have a major performance impact with btrfs so it is not really a valid Option.

Thats why I shy away from using btrfs subvolumes.

Yes!, and german words can even get bigger!

KDE can be used absolutely fine with any other login manager, I personally use Ly https://codeberg.org/fairyglade/ly to login Info kde on wayland.

Germany has a similar law already active

§12 Jugendmedienschutzstaatsvertrag

(1) Anbieter von Betriebssystemen, die von Kindern und Jugendlichen üblicherweise genutzt werden im Sinne des § 16 Abs. 1 Satz 3 Nr. 6, stellen sicher, dass ihre Betriebssysteme über eine den nachfolgenden Absätzen entsprechende Jugendschutzvorrichtung verfügen. Passt ein Dritter die vom Anbieter des Betriebssystems bereitgestellte Jugendschutzvorrichtung an, besteht die Pflicht aus Satz 1 insoweit bei diesem Dritten.

(3) In der Jugendschutzvorrichtung muss eine Altersangabe eingestellt werden können

But yes, neither such laws nor the implementation into systemd is in any way positive and should be fought

• Morrowind
• Final Fantasy 7 (the original not the aweful Remake)
• Final Fantasy 9
• Secret of Mana
• Secret of Evermoor
• Planescape Tornment
• MegaMan X
• Gothic
• German trading simulators (Hanse, Fugger 2, Vermeer, etc.)
• all the many games on my C64

I am not spreading fud, I only added something to a list. The fact that we have such a law is not known by many, even most germans are not aware of it, that is why I talk about it. It is only possible to Protest and fight against something if it is known, and I try to spread this knowledge. This is a way to fight against it, or at least the preparation.

I am very sorry that my posts gave the impression that I am not against such laws, because I for sure am!

And Yes, i should have said that I fear that more countries created such laws, my pessimistic world view got me when I wrote my first post.
