Narrator: systemd did not, in fact, add age verification. They added a way to store an age value, thatโ€™s pretty much it in my understanding. You can set this value to whatever you want.

Not sure what exactly you are upset about? Do you mind elaborating a bit?

    Systemd haters are really making it much bigger than it is. Here's the creator response from this article

    An optional field in the userdb JSON object. It's not a policy engine, not an API for apps. We just define the field, so that it's standardized iff people want to store the date there, but it's entirely optional.

    Chimera uses udev and elogind, almost unavoidable on desktops. One is a major part of systemd, the other is a fork of another major part of systemd backporting updates from systemd upstream. Trying new distros is good, just let's not mislead ourselves, apart from switching to the BSDs altogether, boycotting systemd is only possible at the moment when building an embedded system or a server.

    Systemd also locked and censored dissent from their questionable decision. Time to switch!
