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.

I'm planning to migrate my main desktop over to this distro. I was fairly happy with EndeavourOS for the last few years, but with systemd's recent bullshit, I think it's time I move on.
