If you're a Mac or Windows user, I mean, fine.

This is just not going to be a thing on Linux.

Are there app stores on Linux? Yes, that's what FlatHub and Snap supposed to be.

So what, should Canonical just block Ubuntu downloads to anyone in the state of California? No security researcher is going to download an operating system that asks them their age for example. I feel like it draws a red line for me also.

This law is so completely insane. It sounds like it was written by some Apple fanboy to whom there is no other operating system other than Apple. The very state that spawned GNU and BSD is the same state that is not only demanding your data but enshrining its use in spyware in law.
