Framework doesn’t treat Linux as an afterthought. Michael Tunnell explains how Framework works with Linux distributions, firmware, kernels, and hardware choices to make its laptops a genuinely Linux-first experience. Plus, Neal and Noel explain why repairability and upgradeability matter when so many laptops have become disposable.

On April 15th, the European Commission declared its new age verification app "technically ready." By the very next day, a security researcher had hacked it — in under two minutes. But the hack isn’t the real story. Buried in the technical specification is a single sentence about hardware attestation that could quietly lock Linux users, custom Android ROMs, and de-Googled phones out of Europe’s digital identity future.
In this deep dive, we break down the EU age verification app and the European Digital Identity (EUDI) Wallet it’s built on: zero-knowledge proofs that reveal nothing but your age, the Secure Enclave / StrongBox secure-hardware mandate, Google Play Integrity and why GrapheneOS fails the "strong" level despite being more secure, the Remote WSCD option that could fix desktop Linux but was never implemented, and Switzerland’s vendor-neutral Hardware Attestation API that proves a better path exists. We also look at the global picture — the UK’s VPN surge, Australia’s under-16 social media ban, and the California and Colorado open-source carve-outs that prove community pushback actually works.
To be precise: the EU is NOT banning Linux. But its trust architecture defaults to hardware and app stores run by two companies — and the disadvantage that creates for desktop Linux, Linux phones, and custom ROMs is structural, not stated. Here’s what that means for you, and the three things to watch as this gets decided.
