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.

    they both seem way too eager for my taste to go along with this nonsense

    Based on what? They have specifically addressed the issue and it does not read like they’re eager to have this forced on them by state laws.

    We are accustomed to adding operating system features to comply with laws. Accessibility features for ADA, and power efficiency settings for Energy Star regulations are two examples. We are a part of this world and we believe in the rule of law. We still hope these laws will be recognized for the folly they are and removed from the books or found unconstitutional.

      That’s system76, not systemd. System76 is atleast trying to see what they can do (or rather can not do) and are in talks with legislators to see what this actually means for them (if it ends up meaning anything at all, apparently open sourse systems could be exempt from it). I’ve also seen discussions on nixos discourse to see what the best course of action is, and they are also not planning on just folding, but instead looking to bypass the issue. Meanwhile systemd already has the commits ready it seems, no questions asked.
