From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Quietly. Lmao. There headlines.
I am sure they will start tightening screws on Linux one day too...
These can't help themselves if they got market power.
I wonder if this is due to antitrust law reasons. Already low Linux market share + secure boot having made installation even harder does not set a good precedent for Microsoft.
A Microsoft lawyer could definitely argue in front of a judge that they not only don't block it, they actually have a public guide on how to do it. Which may knock down an opposing argument a notch or two.
