    Does this mandate include OS’s with no GUIs? Are the asshats writing this aware that there’s more than just Windows and Apple?

      Or that an operating system is a broad definition with some “operating systems” not being able to do anything on their own (strictly speaking, Linux is an operating system in the technical sense. it provides calls, interfaces with hardware, and manages memory. Without a userland like GNUs, however, it can’t actually ask for an age. Are we suggesting that Linux should prompt for age at compile time? )
