# FrenchToastOS
FrenchToastOS is a simple, from-scratch x86 operating system. It currently has support for PS/2 keyboard input and can print text to a graphical framebuffer.
## Legal Notice
Residents of territories that require age verification for operating systems are prohibited from using FrenchToastOS. This list currently includes Brazil (Lei 15.211, effective March 17, 2026), California (AB-1043, effective January 1, 2027), and will include Colorado, Illinois, and New York if they pass their currently proposed legislations.
As a hobby operating system project developed by a single developer in his free time, I do not have the legal infrastructure nor resources to implement the 'auditable age verification' and 'identity verification' mechanisms required by these laws, and I have no intention of modifying FrenchToastOS to fit these requirements.
I find it ridiculous that I have to even place this legal notice here in the first place, OS providers should not need to verify ages, neither should platforms. Wanted to have online safety? We had a tool for that, it was called **PARENTS.**
