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

    Define "location data".

    Systemd stores location data for unit files, it does not store geo lookup data. Again, why does systemd need to store user age?

    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?

    The systemd service in question is probably already managing your accounts (if you've got systemd, that is)
