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.

As a newer Linux user I didn't really give a shit about SystemD until recent news and just learning Poettering's whole attitude towards Linux in general.

Was going to wait for EndeavourOS to give a statement on age verification, but if it's going to be implemented as deep as the init system anyway. I should just try Artix so I don't have the worry at all.
