Yeeeeah, nope. Seriously, all the ways of age verification suck 'cause age verification itself sucks.
It's unmaintainable for both websites and browsers (there'll always be sites that say "fuck it", and there'll always be people to remove those checks from the browsers);
It gives personal info to the entities that have no business handling it;
[For sites] that would not leak the info: would you like an unsalted md5 with that?
What's the alternative? To not fucking verify the age. I'm really confused how even normies aren't tired of that "protecting the kids" bullshit. Oh, they're worried? How about trying to be a better fucking parent so that their kids don't hesitate to talk to them about stuff or at least setting up parental control software.
That's why you change the repos, tho, instead of mixing those from arch and manjaro, and do overwrites to avoid trouble with their configs. Also, I have a feeling pacman tells you when a package managed by it is no longer in the repos, so you just remove it to not accidentally take part in another round of ddos-ing aur or whatever manjaro's packages currently do for fun.
As for why, that's just to avoid setting up everything from scratch
Well, that's kinda how I once converted my artix to arch (skipping a few f-ups on my part and the caveats of switching init), so I'm pretty sure it can work... Although I can try this in a VM if I have some spare time
Allrighty, let's try turning it into "helping". When one finds themselves using manjaro, they should:
Prepare a flash drive with recent arch iso flashed (that shouldn't be strictly necessary, but just in case);
Go to the pacman's mirrorlist and replace their repos with the proper ones (i.e. from arch);
Do a -Syyuu base --overwrite=*;
(optional) In case of trouble, boot to the drive flashed at step 0, make necessary mounts, arch-chroot, solve the problems. One can also try pacstrap-ing instead.
This is a rather high-level overview off the top of my head, and one would likely have to make a few tweaks here and there. Still, I hope it helps :)
Given you need physical access (afaiu), there's an easier root route: you come with a flash drive that also has shim, boot from it, and do whatever you wanted to do.
Now if you don't want whoever to be able to bypass suckure boot, you remove microshit's keys and install your own ones. Coincidentally, you don't really need a crutch - that is shim - in that case.
Extra virgin is like a 12yo living in normal modern day family and not attending the church (which is arguably a tautology, but I digress). The one without "extra" did one or two virgin births; still cool but not that fancy. And the regular one stars in adult entertainment videos
Honesty, understandable: I partly like about half of those listed... But I prefer listening to recordings at non-deafening volumes while not being surrounded by a hell lot of humans. Sucks to be an introvert, I guess.
