I hate to say it, but you're utterly wrong.  M$ replacing their kernel
with the Linux kernel would do NOTHING.  You don't know anything.
Windows' kernel is no less sleek than Linux.  The bloat is all on top.

Amendment XIV
Section 1.

[...] No state shall make or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the
United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of
life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;
nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal
protection of the laws.

Dobbs rewrites this, it is invalid precedent.  States are
liable for denying needed abortions, e.g. TX.
