    Linux is not an operating system, it’s just the kernel and has no concept of users/accounts or logging in to anything.

    A great many Linux-based distros (“operating systems”) are not under US jurisdiction.

      Linux is not an operating system

      Please do not start the “GNU/Linux” pedantry now.

      many Linux-based distros (“operating systems”) are not under US jurisdiction

      Repackaging US software - and Linux-the-kernel and much of Linux-the-userland is, obviously, US software - in Europe does not suddenly make US jurisdiction go away.
