Don't let linux become locked down
I don’t see the big deal, everyone in the world was born on 1 Jan 1900, right?

There's the big deal (already a thing in the country I exist in):

How will they force online checks using an operating system you own? You can just have the OS lie.

Besides if you’re living in a country with that level of surveillance, you should already be on a VPN regardless.

You would need an ID reader or something, but you could generate a key from scanning your ID, and have that used to authenticate on major online platforms. This is basically how most companies manage network access, so all the essential technology is widely available.
The key still identifies you wherever you go.
Yes, that is kind of the intended outcome of having a key.
