The latest changes implemented in the Systemd repo, related to or prompted by age-verification laws, have made many people unhappy (I suppose links about this aren’t necessary). This has led to a surge in Systemd forks during the last days (“surge” because there have always been plenty of forks). Here are some forks that explicitly mention those changes as their reason for forking (rough time ordering taken from the fork page):

Hopefully the energy of this reaction won’t be scattered among too many alternatives, although some amount of scattering is always good.

    Hopefully, someone makes a “False Verification” module that can replace surveillance systems like this. I am expecting to someday use SteamOS Desktop, so being able to rip out the “legitimate” verifier and replace it with one that doesn’t work or allows for faked personas, would be good.

    Mind, it would be far better if the verification bullshit NEVER takes off. Hopefully one of these alternatives would put SystemDOGE to sleep.

      There is no verification and there is no surveillance: You can enter whatever value you want, or no value at all.

      It’s exactly like the other personal information (full name, location, phone numbers) you can enter, when you create an account using standard tools on Linux
