Note
This only affects systemd v260+. Most Linux Operating Systems (OS) are alright as it comes with systemd v259.
A Github Pull Request (PR) #40954 was made so the birthDate field is stored in the users JSON records. This has caused a lot of backlash on social media. Despite the backlash, the developers behind systemd didn’t remove it.
How to remove it?#
I made a GitHub repository with the previous age assurance changes reverted.
r4shsec/systemd-no-age-verification
This is systemd but without the age verification made via pull request https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/40978

git clone https://github.com/r4shsec/systemd-no-age-verification.git
cd systemd-no-age-verification
meson setup build/ --prefix=/usr
ninja -C build/Alternatives#
This only affects systemd. You could use other init systems such as openrc.
- Artix Linux: Based on Arch Linux and is systemd-free as it uses
openrc. - Alpine Linux: Based on
openrc. - Gentoo: Uses
openrc. - Void Linux: Uses the
runitinit system.
Thanks, hope it helped!
