Well, the systemd implementation apparently still makes the age entry optional, but it depends on the installed apps whether they request an age verificaation from the OS or not. Plus, Ubuntu hasn't made a final statement yet, only that they're currently reviewing it legally. But since they also have a lot of corporate clients, it's strongly expected that they'll comply. As I said, the near future will show, but I think it doesn't look good for Ubuntu.

Starve is the right word

Great to know. That would mean I would eventually stop getting updates for Ubuntu unless some third party had it available with no ID verification

Linux for Mexicans?

MX = MEPIS + antiX

The distro got started back in 2014 as a collaboration between the MEPIS and antiX communities.

* M for MEPIS, which was an older Debian based distro whose main development got shut down in 2014, and their community was looking for a new home.
* X for antiX, the lightweight Debian based distro that still exists today in parallel and is also one of the distros that took a stand against age verification.

The antiX community still actively maintains MX Linux to this day. That's why both distros share a lot of tools, for example the MX Tools have antiX roots, and both offer sysvinit as an option, which is something you hardly see in mainstream Debian distros.

I didn't see any age verification stuff for Ubuntu yet, but maybe they're implementing it soon. Thanks for the heads up. I'll try Mint Cinnamon for now
