    They can’t really make linux illegal. They’ll make selling devices without age verification illegal. Essentially making selling devices with an OS that doesn’t play ball illegal.

      Just means we will have to wipe the preinstalled OS, as is already the custom. Also means there will likely be efforts to lock down consumer devices similar to how Android OEMs make it difficult to impossible to unlock the bootloader

      They can’t make it illegal, but with a little frog-boiling, they can make it functionally useless for visiting websites you might need to use. No identity verification = no access, and Linux = no identity verification.
