@bongmaster@archlinux@EndeavourOS I think that you might want to consider switching distro if age verification is an issue for you (and fair enough, its an issue for me too). Arch (and by proxy Endeavour) both use systemd as the official init system, and the birthDate field is already merged into systemd. So Arch and Endeavour will have the birthDate field as long as they continue to be based on systemd, and to my knowledge switching init systems has proven to be a deeply toxic community battleground.
Void linux is the alternative I'd recommend, I daily drive it and its super stable. Great docs, no weird "anti-woke" communities like Devuan and Artix, and very lightweight with the runit init system.
@archlinux@EndeavourOS@kalviter I'd rather not have to reinstall and get my system dialed in as I want it all over again because Devs cant listen to the wider user base who don't want age crap, we left windows for a reason.
