      Not gonna matter, especially if Linux, BSD, and other alternatives are criminalized by this.

        They can’t do anything about Linux. Someone will just fork a copy that doesn’t have that.

          If they can ban hardware they don’t like, they can ban software they don’t like too, they could just make Linux illegal to operate.

            Illegal won’t stop me. Pirating is also illegal. And that ban is working out soo well.

              “Linux ISOs” would stop being the obvious legal use of p2p!

        Heh. They’ll have enough trouble validating it on Windows and Mac for them to not even care about Linux. If rey force Linux to do this it really is the year the Linux desktop.
