The optional birthDate field gives other projects a standardized data source for age verification compliance.

I started my Linux journey with PCLOS, then switched to Fedora, because I wanted to try Gnome, and have been using it for more than 20 years. Looks like I may need to switch back to PCLOS, since it does not use systemd, while also finding myself a new DE.

Currently, openKylinOS does not use systemd nor require age verification, so I might give it a go. I doubt China will give a rat's ass about California law. It also integrates with some versions Deep Seek, though I tend to be an AI Luddite.
