Artix isn't going to comply with age-gating. (forum.artixlinux.org)

Per the very first reply on their thread discussing it in their forums, which I linked directly to for the post title:

We'll NEVER require any verification or identification from the user.

However, what's gonna happen should the attempts to age-gate the XDG portal screw over alt-init distros like Artix too? My guess is maybe they start blocking regions which force age gating like Arch Linux 32 is doing.

Possibly tangential, but I figure people might also be interested in knowing that https://agelesslinux.org/ is also not age-gating
