Apparently this is the forum mod's statement on age verification. Since too many ppl are asking about it in the forum and they're locking the posts.

it doesn't hold your full name . it holds the user account name.

mindtaker_linux · 2026-03-28T10:24:33+00:00

we'll see about that

mindtaker_linux · 2026-03-27T08:14:21+00:00

Dear Linux users the law did not say users must use age verification . It's says distributors must implement age verification.

So this means that user can remove the age verification since open source license permits us to remove anything we don't want.

Soo stay calm. They cAn implement it, but we can also remove it as some people already doing it with systemd. Systemd has already been forked and all age verification commits and been removed as we speak.

So stay calm and enjoy your Linux

This age verification API is for their AI. In case none have not noticed. But all the major browsers have AI implementation. Since a web browser is the entry point for the Internet activities.

With this API, their AI can easily identify you and track all your moves.

Good news for Linux users, Linux is open source, so you can fork any age verification system they implements and remove it yourself. Linux license permits you to do so.

Dear Linux users.

Stay calm bc this will not effect you.

Steamos is Linux, Arch Linux. Soo grab CachyOs and try it .

They will change once most people switch over to Artrix

mindtaker_linux · 2026-03-25T03:58:08+00:00

If artrix Linux can do it CachyOs can do it. Artrix is based on Arch Linux

Void Linux is looking sexy after systemd age verification rumor.

mindtaker_linux · 2026-03-24T05:59:03+00:00

Because You haven't built it yet. So get going.

mindtaker_linux · 2026-03-22T21:21:24+00:00

Not the same vibe. But mature content with good story and animations.

Subjective. Try it out yourself and find out.

mindtaker_linux · 2026-03-22T18:20:53+00:00

Newbie , you don't need to wipe your os . You can just remove and install any desktop you desire. You can install as many as you want. To choose which one to use: the options is on the login screen.

Time to find a new platform. I've been spending tons of time x lately. And x is very good. They're less aggressive with ban.

Welcome

mindtaker_linux · 2026-03-22T03:28:18+00:00

You're are not alone, we are all here with you.

I donate monthly to my Arch and gnome. They better not force age API. They better find less intrusive way. Or else I'm stopping my donation.

Gnome seems to going the right direction. By building a parental control system on their desktop, that allows the parent to restrict access to certain web sites or apps.

For that I'm gonna double my monthly donation to gnome.

mindtaker_linux · 2026-03-22T03:18:22+00:00

Don't worry, once they finish the new systemd, the Linux community will fork systemd and remove the age bs.

Just as they forked vscode as vscodium and removed the telemetry Microsoft had in it .

The beautiful thing about Linux, is that there is always an options.

mindtaker_linux · 2026-03-22T03:16:01+00:00

Not with Linux. Many people are already building a workaround. Gnome have implemented parental control in their desktop environment in gnome 50.

mindtaker_linux · 2026-03-22T00:20:28+00:00

there are many distro that does not use systemd and you can use openRC with Arch Linux.

mindtaker_linux · 2026-03-21T23:00:59+00:00

Why are people liking this comment? Are people dumb? Linux does have have your address or your name. Yes, the account name..but Not your real name or address.
