There are still so many problems with this. In addition to the general fuck you, it’s my computer, and fuck the state for forcing creeping surveillance on people, and how the hell would you enforce this, how would this even work for any of the following:
My RaspPi, running an older version of Linux. As far as I can tell, if I compile the kernel or write some code for it I would become the OS Provider.
A multiuser computer
A multiple people using the same account computer
Retro computing
A home media server. Maybe a NAS, maybe a home built machine.
A non-internet connected computer
Anything VM related
Any server in the cloud.
FreeDOS
An embedded machine in a car that I can ssh in to that crosses state lines.
An OS that doesn’t have the concept of user accounts
Hobby OS development
Oddball hardware that has been made to work as a general purpose computer, like a Chrome stick, hard drive controller or iPod?
It also looks like it applies to “covered application store” and from how that is defined, every public deb, apt, or yum repo is an application store, along with things like PyPI, crates.io, GitHub, and probably my own fucking git server that I share with some friends.
