As other people have stated, you do not need to worry about the AUR issue specifically since Bazzite is not based on Arch Linux. Also, unless you are building Node based application (node being a JavaScript based runtime environment), you shouldn’t have to worry about that one.

That said, these platforms are just the latest targets because they have huge enterprise user bases. Any centralized repository has the potential for vulnerability, especially ones with unvetted user submissions.

This is a take I think makes the decision make more sense to me (if this is the reasoning), letting the user opt into compliance rather than forcing their hand.

Is everyone ignoring the direct quote in the orginal post that is referring to laws (California (AB-1043), Colorado (SB26-051), Brazil (Lei 15.211/2025)) that are going to force you to verify your age?

Did you ignore the comment in the github where it, and I quote “Stores the user’s birth date for age verification, as required by recent laws in California (AB-1043), Colorado (SB26-051), Brazil (Lei 15.211/2025), etc.”. Yes it is optional NOW, but this is in preparation of laws that make it legally Mandatory. Don’t down play this.

Really good callout! Thanks for adding that
