@oblomov how not? do you imagine that the law simply goes away if you wish hard enough, or do you think that people in (e.g.) california should simply be forced to use windows or macos instead?

@benjamineskola @oblomov @kirb Who is an Operating System Provider in case of Linux system? To cite the definition from the California bill itself: “Operating system provider” means a person or entity that develops, licenses, or controls the operating system software on a computer, mobile device, or any other general purpose computing device. Linux OSs are made up multiple parts made by multiple different parties, the bill does not have clear enough definition to distinguish who should be responsible with implementation of that bill in my opinion. This is rather clear with Microsoft and Apple, but not with Linux.
