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.
