Not strictly Linux…
But after reading about SystemD I realised that TempleOS would fall under the laws but there’s no way in hell that’s getting updated. There’s gotta be some amazing way to troll the lawmakers with this.

SystemD is only adding the possibility to store an age for the user, and the PR is being debated still
I think the point people are making here is why does systemd need to store an age for the user.
It can already store location data and other random metadata
Trojan horse, so to speak.
Preemtive capitulation is a loss for everyone but the fascists.
Why would a glorified scheduling service need to store my birthday? Or age. Am I soon supposed to show/store my ID to all services running on my computer?
An equally valid question is why does a glorified scheduling service want to act as my UEFI boot manager?
The systemd service in question is probably already managing your accounts (if you’ve got systemd, that is)
It may be so, but it doesn’t know my birthday nor my ID 🤷
Good way to lose your market share overnight
Ah yes, systemd is gonna lose so many sales over this, they’re gonna have to lower their monthly subscription price from $0.00 to a measly $0.00
