What will MS do when Linux becomes a serious threat to their monopoly ?

Will they lobby for laws that prohibit Linux or make it difficult to install? What actions might they take in the future?

Maybe requiring locking bootloader “for safety” on desktop computers if they want to run windows 12

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.
