Hey, > Hence why the only option we should even consider is noncompliance.
Although I agree with you on this, I do not believe the arch team will share the same views. Its easy for us to say "don't comply" when we aren't the ones which would be liable if a government did go after Arch. There is mixed responses on the topic, MidnightBSD has went as far as going nonfree to avoid it, OpenBSD seems to be taking the non-compliance stance, but a lot of Linux distros seem to be going down the path of "how do we comply with this without being invasive to users" rather than non-compliance. I believe Debian and Ubuntu are behind the push for systemd and freedesktop support for age verification anyways, so I am sure both will support it on the desktop. Jelle is a developer, I am not sure if their stance is their personal stance or whether it is the stance of the Arch team? Maybe he could clarify this? As for other distros, I am not 100% sure what they are planning. I would be interested to see what alpine is up to considering they are not systemd.
