I actually see the golden lining here
>"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.
I.e Linux will most likely to be immune, since its not tied to a particular computer.
Which just means Linux stay winning. It already made big headway in the video game space, so its prime to take over personal computing too.
- tokai 7mo agoAll the distros are the providers here. The Linux kernel is not an operating system.
- 1718627440 7mo agoSince GNU(or other)/Linux OSes allow the sysadmin to compose the OS out of parts and change them, the final OS is created by the sysadmin. That's what makes distributing binary software so annoying for maintainers, every installation can be it's own snowflake OS.
- jmye 7mo ago> since its not tied to a particular computer. That's a really weird and nonsensical reading of "operating system software on a computer".
- karmakaze 7mo agoWouldn't that include using it on any cloud service that let's you pick it?
