Btw, Pop OS has said they will comply and add age attestation in case you weren't aware.

    If its legally required what are their options? I currently use Pop! OS, what are my options in that scenario? Like legally speaking how does age verification work?

    Like legally speaking how does age verification work?

    Basically no government who require has ever give plan on how to do. Or what to do. Or what to actually verify (select ok? estimate via face ok? estimate via big data ok? id ok? birth certificate ok? nobody know). Or how make sure root not change birthday after verify... which impossible.

    I dont know about what other "distros" are doing, but systemd is adding an optional field to the optional userdb module to store the user's age, and then with xdg a program can query it and it will just return if the user is over 18 or not, then all the distro has to do is add a way to set the age if they want to comply.

    There are many distros that have said they will not implement the age attestation/verification feature into the distro. Many distros are not developed/located in the US, therefore they do not have to comply. The link below is kept updated to show which OSes will or will not comply
