Linux distributions need to verify user ages for compliance with new laws. Create a tool that integrates with Linux package managers to handle age verification. Linux maintainers and developers would pay for this to avoid legal issues. Start with a CLI tool for major distros like Ubuntu and Fedora. The risk is low adoption if maintainers see it as unnecessary.
