How? Linux developers don't live in Illinois or even in the USA for the most part.

  They sell the OS to Illinois residents.

    I have paid for Redhat just once. Since then ubuntu FTW
    • charcircuit 2mo ago
      It's possible for Ubuntu too. Dell sells Ubuntu laptops to Illinois.

        "this option is not available in the state of Illinois" Seems easy enough to implement before 2028 and only serve laptops without OS.

          Well at least this wouldn't result in massive incentives for Microsoft to get the same law passed elsewhere.

  I don't see how that implies they won't try. From everything I've seen before, the neither lawyers nor judges tend to have a solid understanding of technology (lawyers might know the parts that will be helpful to them in their current cases).

  There's a number of Linux developers living in the USA. I wouldn't be surprised if any live in the Chicago area.
