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.
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.
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.

Wine can perfectly fine read/access all the drives on the System. Are you using some kind of sandboxing? Flatpak? Bottles?
The file Manager from wine is more or less the classic windows file explorer, and Yes it is very much outdated by now.
