       @gamingonlinux One reason these laws won't work: since Linux is open source, you can download the source code and compile everything yourself. The source code should be protected by the 1st Amendment, so states can't reasonably restrict it, and if you compile everything yourself, there is no "vendor" who has to do anything.
